Are you keen to give Ashtanga a go?

  I have had many people asking about getting into an Ashtanga Practice! So I want to start off by mentioning something you may come across in your Ashtanga research, many Ashtanga Yogis practice 6 days a week, but not everyone can do this, so I would recommend practicing about 3 days a week, to begin with. I must place a little warning here now, practicing at home takes a lot of dedication - and of course you must always honor your mind and body, I would suggest that if you enjoy Ashtanga find a teacher, that way you can get adjustments and tips that will help you take your practice to the next level (comment below if you have questions about finding a teacher).

  Always begin with the primary series (there is no better place to start than the beginning), Have a look at my post Ashtanga the Primary Series, It is definitely beneficial to look over the series to get an idea of what you will be doing!

  It can be very intimidating for a beginner, so I would definitely recommend starting off slow, unfortunately I do not have the resources to make this kind of video at the moment (Hopefully in the near future I will be making some of my own videos) - but this is a great beginners video to become used to the practice of Ashtanga.


 Once you have become accustomed to this video move onto the slightly more challenging video.


  Finally move onto practicing the full primary series

 
Happy Practicing Yogis and Yoginis, and as always comment below if you have any questions 
 Namaste
