Ashtanga Yoga Workshop - Primary Series
Sunday February 3 12:00pm- 1:15pm
With Cara
In this workshop, you will learn the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series. Ashtanga Yoga was developed by Sri K. Pattabi Jois as an intense series of yoga postures performed in a particular series. They say it takes years to master the Primary Series and only when that is accomplished can one move onto the Secondary Series. Ujjayi Pranayama is used to control prana in the body durning the asana sequence.
Cara Gauthier is a former instructor at Studio 2 Yoga who is now working in Guelph and Oakville as a massage therapist. Cara studied Ashtanga in Mysore India and has also studied with Ashtanga Yoga Guru David Swenson.

Yoga Teacher Training
Our vision in creating a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Program is to provide the trained instructors with the knowledge and skills to look at their student as a whole and to provide the best yoga experience possible to them. We believe that the body has the innate ability to heal itself and through our teacher training, we will foster that attitude and transfer it into our teaching so that each student we come into contact with will feel the grace and power within themselves to heal at their own level.
We are proud and excited to bring you this opportunity to study with us.
