PERSONALIZED, PROGRESSIVE PRACTICE AT YOUR PACE

Sunday Practice

Sunday, September 20 · 9–11 AM

Through the end of the year, we'll progressively move through sections of the Ashtanga Primary Series—from the Sun Salutations through the standing sequence and into an abridged finishing sequence. The first hour is a workshop-style breakdown of the postures we're exploring. The second hour, we practice through the Abridged Primary Series. Whether you join us for every gathering or just one, each is a standalone opportunity to dive deeper into this practice—a great place to play.

Led by Caden Jones

What to Expect

You'll find us at Pete & Carmen's Salsa Dance Academy. Enter the California Arts Academy parking lot, and the studio door is on the left. I'll be outside to greet you—I offer hugs. Doors open at 8:50 AM and close at the start of practice.

The room is still and intentional, so you can focus inward and breathe. We'll open the space with an orientation, including introductions, then the opening chant, then each practitioner moves at their pace. Bring a yoga mat, water, and a small towel.

FAQs

What specifically will we practice this month?

We'll apply the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga method to the Sun Salutations — Sūrya Namaskāra A & B — focusing on breath, posture, and gaze as we create these shapes.

Is this a heated or non-heated practice?

This is a non-heated practice. Although, I promise you'll sweat.

Do I need to know the Primary Series?

No—I'm honored to share it with you, whether that's from the beginning or anywhere along the way. That's where we'll start our journey together.

How can I continue developing my practice?

Our weekly Sunrise Practice — Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 6–7 AM — is where we learn the Primary Series posture-by-posture at your pace.
