When I first started practising Ashtanga chanting was not something I was use to. I never experienced in any other yoga classes I took, unless the teacher opened class with ‘Om’.
It was in a language I didn’t understand and I struggled to form the sounds. I wasn’t sure if I was saying it right or even what I was saying until my teacher explained it to me.
As a teacher now, I can tell that for some chanting in Sanskrit can definitely make them uncomfortable and may even cause people to shy away from joining class. It’s unfamiliar & intimidating.

Because it was broken down for me, I found it really helpful to look at the meaning behind the verses. I don’ t mean the literal translations, which can be confusing, but with the metaphors and symbolism that is used, allowing the meanings to become more universal.

Backbends can be both energizing and challenging. This workshop will focus on safely opening the front body & strengthening the back body to support a healthy, sustainable extension of the spine.
We’ll discuss key anatomical patterns in backbends and work on preparatory movements that prepare your spine and supporting limbs for backbends. We will explore postures such as Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (upward facing dog), Shalabasana (locust pose), Dhanurasana (bow pose), Ustransana (camel pose) and Urdhva Dhanuransa (upward bow pose).
This workshop is suitable for all levels. Modifications and techniques will be offered to help you approach backbends in a safe and sustainable way.

Guru Purnima is for reflection, gratitude, and celebration. It is a day to celebrate the significance of the teacher or guru for the teaching, wisdom and sacrifice. In the Ashtanga lineage it is a day to reflect on Pattabhi Jois’s teachings and to reflect, and honor Sharath as well as his teachings - acknowledging their role in spreading Ashtanga yoga worldwide. It’s an opportunity to remember the guru parampara, the lineage of teachers that extends back to the ancient sages.  We offer gratitude to our teachers - both past and present; as well as recommit to our studies and practice of Ashtanga.

This year Guru Purnima falls on the full moon and it is believed to amplify spiritual energy, making it a good time for introspection and practice. The day is marked by chanting, and meditation sessions, emphasizing the importance of dedicated practice in the Ashtanga tradition. So take a moment today to sit in meditation or chant.

A few chants ~ Guru Brahma, Gurau Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwara or even the opening mantra we chant each morning before practice.








Enjoy your rest day!
