Ashtanga/Vinyasa at the Treehouse

I recently attended to two Ashtanga/Vinyasa classes at Treehouse Yoga (31 Jan and 7 Feb). The classes were led by a lovely lady named Emma. Emma encouraged the class to build postures from the ground up, and take note of the subtleties of the practice.

During the January class my practice was shakey at times, eg I chose to abandon Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana due to the wobbles – regrouping in Tadasana got me back on track, and my arms quivered in a number of asana. In retrospect I think it was the challenge of the vinyasa, and my muscles reacting to a different, and more strenuous, practice to that to which I have become accustomed was the reason for my “shakes”.

My attendance at the 7 February class was most enjoyable – I felt more grounded than I had the previous week. A different day – a different experience 🙂

Over all it was a positive experience to revisit the Ashtanga method – I hope to become a regular student in the Thursday evening class.

Namaste
