Led Ashtanga Phoenix
Move with breath, rhythm & structure
Led Ashtanga is a guided class where students move together through the traditional sequence following the teacher’s Sanskrit count.
Each breath is connected to a movement and a rhythm — almost like a choreography. This class helps deepen concentration, discipline, breath awareness and understanding of the Ashtanga vinyasa system.
Led Ashtanga is offered on selected dates as our Ashtanga community grows. Upcoming Led Ashtanga dates will appear in the schedule below.

What is a Led Ashtanga Primary Series class?
What is the purpose of the Ashtanga Led Primary Series?
The Primary Series builds a strong foundation by developing strength, mobility, stamina, concentration and steadiness.. The sequence flows dynamically, with each posture seamlessly connected to your breath through vinyasas (movements).
Why do we practice a counted Led Primary class? What are the intentions behind this format?
A traditional counted Led Primary class has several key intentions. One major goal is to refine the steadiness of practice. By counting every inhale and exhale at a steady pace, the instructor provides a rhythm that ensures equal time for each breath. Challenging postures are counted at the same pace as more straightforward ones, allowing us to measure our steadiness against this ideal.
A Led class also helps us identify moments where our attention tends to wander. By becoming aware of these habits, we gain the opportunity to work on controlling them.
In the traditional counted Led Primary class, as taught in Mysore, India, you only practice the postures you have learned in Mysore class, along with the closing postures. A Led class is not a time to learn new postures.
