There are three types of Ashish Yoga classes that are offered online:
- Introduction Hatha Yoga Series – this course consists of a series of no more than 10 1-hour mat-based classes that introduces students to all the essential elements of Hatha Yoga, based on the Sivananda style.
- Integrated Hatha Yoga – this class is for beginner and experienced practitioners that synthesizes all the core elements of Hatha Yoga, based on the Sivananda style, performed on a mat.
- Adaptive Hatha Yoga – this class is for beginner and experienced practitioners that integrates all the elements of Hatha Yoga, based on the Sivananda style, into a gentle, easy routine that can be performed on a chair or wheelchair.
Introduction Hatha Yoga Series
This course is a series of mat-based classes that methodically introduces students to the essential techniques and practices of Hatha Yoga, based on the Sivananda style. The goal of this series is to give the student all the essential elements of the hatha yoga practice so they can build their own home-based practice. This class is ideal for both new and experienced students as it provides detailed instruction to all the essential 4 components of yoga including breathing (pranayama), subtle exercise (pawanmuktasana), dynamic warm-up (surya namaskar vinyasa), and poses (asana).
This course is highly educational, interactive, and will provide practical systematic instruction of asanas and exercises. Classes take the form of a workshop providing opportunities to ask questions, obtain coaching, and practice techniques. In 10 classes or less, the essentials of breath, subtle and dynamic exercises and poses can be understood.
This course is for anyone:
- New to yoga and seeking education on fundamentals to build a personal yoga practice
- Interested in learning yoga at a much slower pace without being rushed
- Experienced in yoga and looking for more detailed education to refine their practice
- Fearful of participating in existing yoga classes due to unfamiliarity of postures or speed of classes
- Seeking to improve body alignment and understanding of yoga asanas
- Looking to take charge of their health and wellness
This course focuses on the following areas:
- Step-by-step demonstration and instruction of all yogic exercises and postures
- Alignment and mechanics for getting in to and out of postures
- Techniques for sitting in meditation and relaxation
- Sun Salutation walk-through and practice to warm up the body
- High-level anatomy and health benefits of yogic exercises
This course will move at a slower pace allowing students to understand the vital techniques and practices of yoga. By the end of the course, students will have all the knowledge and understanding to further refine and develop an independent practice or be able to participate in intermediate and advanced yoga classes with confidence.
