Devoted practitioners of hatha yoga will, at some point, learn the Ashtanga Primary Series. This is a long and challenging practice that offers a wide variety of benefits, including greater strength & flexibility, increased stamina, improved immune system functionality, as well as reduced stress and deeper focus. If this foundational practice is calling to you, this is a great way to dive in.

Great instruction – difficult for me -my mind was there but my body was not. I am feeling awakened after .
So challenging…. but it was worth diving in…
I will do what he recommended and eat soup before trying this again in order to conquer the lotus twist bind nightmare. Thanks
Incredible. Woiuld be great to be capable to do it 5-10 years. Great teacher & great music
I want to do this, but it’s way too intimidating. I scrolled through and it doesn’t seem like modifications are offered if you’re looking to build up to the poses.
Ashtanga is a challenging practice so for many people seems way too far for humans possibilities but give it a shot, especially with Brent! He is a super pro teacher but knows perfectly that takes time to get there and I found this class super reassuring and I had a lot of fun too. Just do what you can and live the door open! Thank you Brent!
Hello Brent,
I am hopeful that you will soon do a full primary series video with the traditional breath count. I am an Ashtanga practitioner and would love to go back to my regular daily practice. It has been fun to do the Level Up program, but I miss Ashtanga.
