Iuliia and Melissa invite you to a dynamic 75-minute Ashtanga workshop designed to deepen your practice while making advanced postures feel accessible, intelligent, and empowering. Rooted in the traditional Ashtanga method, this workshop includes the opening and closing chants, guided portions of the Primary Series, and targeted strength, mobility, and alignment drills that progressively build toward a peak pose.
The primary focus of this workshop is headstand variations, including Mukta Hasta Śīrṣāsana (A–C) and Baddha Hasta Śīrṣāsana (A–D), taught step-by-step with an emphasis on safety, breath, and structural integrity. Students will learn how discipline, alignment, and variation work together to support a sustainable inversion practice—while always having options to modify, progress, or step back intelligently.
This workshop is ideal for students who want to understand how to approach inversions within the Ashtanga system rather than forcing the final shape. Participants will leave feeling stronger, more confident, and equipped with practical tools they can immediately apply to their regular practice.
