What is the introductory workshop about?

• The aim is to teach basic techniques of Ashtanga Yoga and a beginner's practice serie, which one can start to practice home after the workshop.
  
  
• Main techniques to be learned will be Ujjayi Breathing technique, the use of Bandhas or muscle locks and beginner's practice sequence, which consists of suryanamaskara A and B series or Sun Salutations and relatively easy Yoga Asanas or postures, movement series and related vinyasas or synchronized combinations of breath, movement and Yoga Asanas.
  
  
• Suitability and benefits of Yoga practice: Astanga Yoga does not require previous sports or fitness training or any experience of Yoga before. Practice is suitable generally for anybody (generally age of practitioners vary between 18-65 years). While doing the Yoga practice one will concentrate on breathing, movements, yoga postures and their effects. Combining all these aspects makes the yoga practice an inspiring challenge and helps the practitioner to develop balance, strength, mobility and deep breathing.
