Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is rooted in Sāṃkhya, the philosophical underpinning of the Pātañjalayogaśāstra. Sāṃkhya means “enumeration,” and counting is a way to connect back to the roots of our practice.
In this workshop you will learn:
how to count in Sanskrit
the vinyasa count for the primary series
how to apply this to second and third series
tricks for remembering the count
tips for incorporating the count into your practice
It is excellent for:
Practitioners who want a steadiness in their practice
Practitioners who want to count along with their teacher during primary or secondary series
Teachers who struggle with the rhyme or reason behind the count
Teachers who would like to confidently count a led primary or led intermediate class.
