Ashtanga Primary Series with Sammy-Jo

The Ashtanga Primary Series is called Yoga Chikitsa, which means yoga therapy, cleansing and toning both the body and mind.

The Primary Series is a set sequence which comprises of: Sun Salutations, Standing Asana, Seated Asana, a Finishing Sequence and Relaxation.

By connecting with the breath, we can synchronise movement through the sequence of asanas and utilising bandhas and dristi it allows you to connect internally, observing the body and mind to create balance.

Additionally the practice targets the digestive system, including your liver, gallbladder, and kidneys. It supports you to move from the sympathetic to parasympathetic nervous system to allow you to be present in the moment, relaxing and nourishing the mind and body.

Each posture facilitates blood flow to targeted muscles. This supports them to soften and become more flexible. This circulation also flushes the organs, forcing stagnant energy and toxins to be removed.
