Anusara Immersion with Ashleigh Altman

ANUSARA IMMERSION : WHAT IT IS? The Anusara Immersion takes you on a journey into the study of Anusara Yoga (Asana, Philosophy, Pranayama, Meditation). You will meet friends who share in the desire to live from the heart. The Immersion is perfect for those wishing to delve into the mysteries and profound practices of yoga. The Immersion teaches us how to imbibe the practice as a path to conscious living, have the experience of our truest self, and journey to the core of Anusara Yoga. There is no pressure to teach yoga or any instruction on how to teach, only the pleasure and challenge of basking in the deeper knowledge of this practice. The Immersion is designed to provide a solid foundation of practical understanding for all serious students of Anusara Yoga. The process of being in an Immersion prepares you fully on all levels: Refines your knowledge of Anusara Yoga, gives you experience on the path, and helps you develop the self-confidence necessary to become a teacher of this sophisticated system of yoga, if you desire. The Anusara Immersion will give us all the opportunity to establish a new depth of commitment to our selves and each other. The Anusara Immersion is a 108 hour curriculum that is split into 3 parts of 36 hours. You can take one or more parts.

PART ONE: AWAKENING YOUR HEART -  THIS PHASE INCLUDES: An in-depth exploration of the Universal Principles of Alignment (the 3 A's, the 5 Steps and the Loops); An introduction to the use of props; Basic Anusara Yoga philosophy overview; Fundamentals of Practice, Ethical Precepts, Basics of Studentship; Overview of the History of Yoga; Elemental anatomy and anatomy of the breath; Fundamental pranayama, meditation, journaling, and contemplation; and Introduction to all the poses from Anusara's Level 1 syllabus.

If you are a yoga teacher or would like to begin teaching, Part One: Awakening Your Heart, includes everything a teacher training would offer and more! We just leave the "how-to's" of teaching to Teacher Training, when the time is right. The Immersion Part One totals 36 hours divided over 4 weekends. This fall the immersion will be held at Absolute Yoga on Saturdays tentatively 9AM-12 & 2-5pm and Sundays 9AM-12: Dates: September 25/26; October  23/24; November 6/7  Cost: $600 before Sept 1. $650 after Sept. 1.

Fundamentals of the  Ashtanga Primary Series with Adam Dobbs - Sunday, September 19  1-4PM   $60

Ashtanga  means "eight limbs" in Sanskrit, which refers to the eight limbs of yoga laid out in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.  The Ashtanga method of asana practice was interpreted by Krishnamacharya and Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois from ancient text entitled the Yoga Korunta, which described a unique system of hatha yoga.  The Primary Series, also known as Yoga Chikitsa (meaning yoga therapy), realigns the spine, detoxifies the body and builds strength, flexibility and stamina.  The series of about 75 poses takes 1 1/2-2 hours to complete, beginning with sun salutations and moving on to standing and seated poses, backbends and inversions.  This workshop is an opportunity to learn the Primary Series at a slow, meditative pace, with detailed instruction and individual assistance by Adam, who has been studying Ashtanga yoga for over 15 years.  Each section of the practice will be broken down and explained with time for questions.  Please note that this workshop is for those who practice vinyasa style yoga and have experience with sun salutations and chaturanga.  This is not for beginner students. Pre-registration is required. Inquire at the desk, call the studio at 516-682-9642 or email us at info@absoluteyogastudio.com.
