POSITION TWO: LEARNING THE PRIMARY SERIES with Alan
(15 minutes)
Bound half-lotus forward fold (ardha baddha padmottanasana) :
This is the second position of the ashtanga primary series, and a landmark posture as it introduces us to a form of the lotus pose. Learning how to approach this position intelligently is a pivotal step, as we are now asked to deepen our understanding of the hip joint. In this in-depth tutorial I will break down this pose into a series of key stages. We will go through several exercises for developing deeper range of motion in the hips, and learn how to proceed safely with our precious knees.

ASHTANGA FOUNDATIONS with Alan – Part 1
(45 minutes)
It begins here… In this class Alan will guide you through the foundational elements of ashtanga yoga – exploring a sequence of preparation postures to help establish healthy alignment, movement and awareness. We will then practice surya namaskar A – with a thorough break down of each step building a strong foundation for the practice to come.
ALL LEVELS – suitable for beginners
(optional: block & strap)
POSITION FOUR: LEARNING THE PRIMARY SERIES with Alan
(12 minutes)
Warrior A & B (virabhadrasana):
The warrior position and its variation are some of the most iconic silhouettes of all yoga asanas. To find the richness within these positions we must learn to spread our attention equally throughout the body. The feet and arms are drawn endlessly away from each other, making passage for the spine to grow while the pelvis directs its course. In this tutorial we will learn the key alignment points for both warrior variations. We will learn how to keep our attention spread over the entire form by breaking the position down into a series of stages, each building upon the next. Finally, we will explore three different progressions for developing the “lift and jump-back” which appears at end of the sequence.
ALL LEVELS – suitable for beginners
ASHTANGA – LED FULL PRIMARY SERIES with Alan
(90 minutes)
The complete Ashtanga Primary Series, with the traditional Sanskrit count. Join Alan as he leads you through this dynamic, energising and awakening practice. This challenging class is aimed for the seasoned Ashtanga practitioner. Newer students take note: the primary series is designed to be learned slowly over a long period of time (please do not use this video to learn the series) If you are new to Ashtanga we strongly recommend you begin with the Ashtanga Foundations classes.
LEVEL 3 – Not suitable for beginners
HEALTHY SHOULDER MOBILITY with Alan

(recommend props: 2 blocks, strap, broomstick)
ASHTANGA FOUNDATIONS – PART TWO with Alan
(60 minutes)
Building on the foundations established during part one, in this class we venture further into the ashtanga practice with the addition of four new forms. Combined with the warm-up sequence, our practice will now include both Surya Namaskar A & B (sun salutations), Padangusthasana (big toe pose), Padahastasana (hands to feet pose) and Utthita Trikonasana A (extended triangle pose). With detailed step by step explanations of each form, we establish the value of repetition in practice.

DIFFICULTY STEPPING THROUGH? – ASANA TIPS with Alan
(3 minutes)
The “step through” from downward facing dog to warrior one can be a tricky (an often frustrating) transition to perform. In this short tutorial, I show you how to incorporate props not only to create more space, but develop the hand and upper back coordination needed to execute this transition.
ALL LEVELS – suitable for beginners
(optional: 2 blocks)
ASHTANGA FOUNDATIONS – PART THREE with Alan
(50 minutes)
In this class we will explore the rest of foundational postures. These forms become the key ingredient in unlocking all other postures to follow. Building on what we’ve learned in parts one & two, our practice will now include Parivrtta Trikonasana B (revolved triangle pose), Parsvakonasana A & B (extended & revolved side angle poses), Prasarita Padottansana A, B, C & D (wide-legged forward bends) and Parsvottanasana (side stretch pose). With detailed step by step explanations of each form, we continue to solidify our foundations through repetition.

HEADSTAND – ASANA TIPS with Alan
(7 minutes)
The headstand, sirsansana, can be a difficult (an often frightening) asana to practice, and perhaps rightly so. In this short tutorial, I explain some ways to assess, firstly if we are ready for this position, and if so then how to practice this position safely without putting pressure on the neck.
LEVEL 2 – not suitable for beginners
ASHTANGA: FLOWING FOUNDATION SEQUENCE with Alan
(30 minutes)
In this class our focus shifts away from technical instruction and moves toward the internal experience of practice. As we flow through the sequence of vinyasas, we refine our awareness, feeling the growing connection of body, breath and mind – this is referred to as Tristana. This foundational sequence is the pillar of all ashtanga practice. Great for those who have worked through all parts of the foundations course, or experienced students wanting to take a shorter but flowing practice.
At the end of this class there is an in-depth explanation of how to proceed further if you wish to start learning the primary (first) series.
ALL LEVELS – suitable for beginners
(optional: 2 blocks)
POSITION ONE: LEARNING THE PRIMARY SERIES with Alan
(11 minutes)
Extended hand to big-toe pose (utthita hasta padangusthasana) :
This is the first pose in the ashtanga primary series, and is a great tool for developing focus, balance and patience. In this in-depth tutorial, I explain how to approach this challenging position, and with the use of props how we can develop the required strength and flexibility. I break down this pose into three distinct learning phases – work through each exercise slowly, not moving onto the next until a certain level of comfort is established. The key here is repetition.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICE with Alan
(18 minutes)
In this class I will take you through a short sequence I use for those days where my energy may be low, and I am just wanting to “maintain” a level of elasticity and movement through the body. This sequence also works fantastic as a “post-workout” cool down, particularly for increasing blood flow and maintaining overall suppleness.
ALL LEVELS – suitable for beginners
POSITION THREE: LEARNING THE PRIMARY SERIES with Alan
(11 minutes)
Chair pose (utkatasana):
At this point in the series we are presented with an opportunity to refocus our attention. Having just completed position one & two, it is tempting to plough through this sequence losing what it has to offer. Being mindful of each movement is the key here. In this tutorial I will go over the posture’s key alignment points including how to keep the spine and knees healthy. I will also go through several exercises on developing more strength and mobility through the calf & achilles. Finally, we explore three different progressions for developing the jump-back at the end of the sequence.
