David Keil Counting ClassThe Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga practice has it’s main facets of tristana, meaning the synergistic quality of  asana, breath, and bandha. Underlying correct breathing is a structured framework known as the vinyasa krama. Many people seem to know what vinyasa is, but few are familiar with the word krama. Krama means, process, order or succession. The breath coordinated process or order of movements is the ashtanga vinyasa yoga method’s core.

If you can understand this layer of the practice, a whole new level of discipline and focus can be accessed. A new appreciation for the method and its intricacies and what you’re doing relative to the practice will be understood.

In this workshops we’ll spend time learning how to count, and how we can use it in the practice to bring yet another level of focus and depth to what we’re doing.

The intention is not that everyone leaves being able to count the whole of primary series. Instead we plant a seed of inquiry and just enough experience that one can go off and learn the count if they choose.
