New Skool Ashtanga with Kristin

SENSITIZE TO SUBTLE ENERGY

You're invited to New Skool Ashtanga. This practice is not your 90’s ashtanga. Poses are not “earned.” Practitioners are not “held back.” Obedience to an “ideal” is not rewarded. Perfectionism is recognized for what it is - a construct that kills creativity and love.

New Skool Ashtanga values the genius of primary series ashtanga poses, sequencing, and intentionality of breath - without the old school asana fundamentalism that fuels insidious competition around physical abilities and perpetuates shame when dictated expectations are not met. New Skool Ashtanga emphasizes the joy of practice - the creativity, love, and self-realization that’s cultivated in an atmosphere of infinite possibilities.

New skool ashtanga emphasizes subtle energy experiencing not only by linking ujjayi breath with a dynamic sequence of asanas, but also through pranayama interludes that punctuate parts of the practice. New skool ashtanga follows the same sequence of postures practiced in primary series ashtanga - about 75 incredible poses that are repeated during every practice session - with a few additions and modifications - including back-bending postures that balance the forward-folding bias of primary series ashtanga.
