Ashtanga yoga: Some recommendations and advice please for my home practice as a beginner |
| Some recommendations and advice please for my home practice as a beginner Posted: 28 Mar 2020 07:47 AM PDT Hey everyone, I started a beginner course in Ashtanga yoga at the beginning of the year. We got to the seventh week before the studio closed for obvious reasons. In the studio we worked our way through the primary series, slowly adding asanas week-by-week. We had just finished the standing part of the primary series before the studio closed. For the past two months, I've been doing home practice as well. I have been working my way up to 35-40 minutes per day, 5-6 days per week. I practice in the morning after I have meditated. I can do the standing part of the primary series pretty comfortably now, with a few modifications with the more challenging poses! For the past week I've done the full standing part (but only 2-3 each of sun salutations A&B) followed by this sequence:
I've seen many people recommending practising six mornings per week, so that's what I've been trying to stick to. But is the ultimate goal to do the full primary series 6 mornings per week?! That seems pretty hardcore. What schedule do you all follow with your practice? Although I have more time at the moment, I really don't think it's feasible for me to do more than 40 minutes in the morning for my practice. Eventually I would like to go to the studio once per week for the full primary series and then maybe another full primary at home once per week, and the other four days do 35-40 minutes. Am I approaching my home practice in the right way? I've seen people suggesting that beginners follow the primary series rigidly, adding poses one-by-one in the exact order of the series, which I'm not doing. Also, are there any online resources which any of you can recommend? Think we will all need something to keep us motivated over the coming weeks and months with all the isolation measures!
