Your body is an Ashtanga body and this practice can work for you and every one of your students. This workshop goes beyond blocks and straps and into the realm of adaptability and possibility. It is for:

- Anyone who wants to learn how to make Ashtanga work for their body

- Teachers or students who want more knowledge on working with older bodies, limited mobility, bodies that cannot get up and down from the floor and bigger bodies

- Teachers who want more tools for teaching a true All Levels Ashtanga class for all bodies

- Students who want to learn how to flow with a group with their unique bodies

Learn how to use a wall or chair to make the practice stable and safe.

Saturday: 9:30AM-11:30AM Drop It Low

Learn how to practice or help your Ashtanga students when getting up and down from the floor is a challenge and mobility is restricted.

Sunday 9:30AM-11:30AM All Bodies Can Flow

You can still flow in a Led Ashtanga class even when you need to flow differently. We will look at variations that can be integrated into a Led Ashtanga class without losing the flow.
