Ashtanga Yoga Sequences. Here’s Everything You Need To Know

 





If you’ve ever heard of ashtanga yoga, you know it’s a series of repeated poses. We’ll practice the standard sequence for the first six months. The Shavasana at the end of this sequence is an excellent place to take a deep breath and relax. The second sequence of ashtanga yoga is known as Ardha namaskar or half-bend sequence, which in three parts: Adho Mukha savasana (downward facing dog), Utthita hasta Sirsasana (standing forward bend), and Utthita trikonasana (wide-legged forward bend). The third sequence of ashtanga yoga is Chandrasana or moon pose; however, if you want to learn more about these poses before diving into them during your first week at YogaWorks Studio, check out this article on basic postures!

The standard sequence is the sequence that you will practice for the first six months. It’s an excellent place to start, and it’s also a good place to begin your yoga practice.

The first thing to remember about this sequence is that in stone—you can make changes as you see fit or adapt them if something feels off or doesn’t feel right.


For example: If you’re having trouble with shoulder tension during an upward rotation of Marichyasana C (Marichyasana C), try moving into Chaturanga Dandasana instead of keeping your hands on your thighs like in Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward Facing Dog).

The Shavasana at the end of this sequence is an excellent place to take a deep breath and relax. It will help you recover from your practice, stretch out your muscles and joints, and give yourself time to rest after class. Try using this sequence as an alternative technique to wind down after your yoga practice before bed if you struggle to fall asleep due to stress or worry.

The second sequence of ashtanga yoga is the Ardha Namaskara, or half-bend sequence, done in three parts.

The second sequence of ashtanga yoga is the Ardha namaskar, or half-bend sequence, done in three parts. The first part is Ardha namaskar, or half-bend, which involves lying on your back with legs apart and bent at a 90-degree angle.


The second part is called Ardha or half lotus pose. In this posture, you should take hold of your toes with both hands and extend them towards each other behind you until they touch your buttocks (or if you have difficulty doing this, try extending one leg instead). You can also use blocks under your feet to help support yourself while performing this pose. Still, these will not be necessary if you can get into position quickly enough without any props for them to look beautiful and comfortable too!





The third sequence of ashtanga yoga is the Chandrasana or moon pose.

The third sequence of ashtanga yoga is the Chandrasana or moon pose. It’s a pose with the arms extended overhead, the legs in a straight line, and the head in a neutral position. The eyes should be closed, and place hands against each other in prayer (palms facing up).

The Chandrasana can also be done while standing on one leg or lying down on your back with hands resting at the sides of your body.

The fifth sequence of ashtanga yoga is Utthita pada Vrksasana or wide-legged forward bend with trunk rotation, arms, and hands stretching away from the body.





This pose can be a great way to stretch out your hamstrings, hips, and lower back while practicing balance and control. It’s an excellent pose if you have tight shoulders or an injured knee or ankle because it helps alleviate pain in those areas by increasing mobility through stretching at each joint (the flexibility will help reduce inflammation). This position also helps improve circulation by improving blood flow throughout the body — so it can benefit anyone suffering from low energy levels due to poor circulation!


It’s essential to keep in mind that this pose is for beginners; however, if you’re already comfortable doing other basic poses, then there are modifications available such as leaning slightly forward instead of keeping both feet on the ground, which makes it easier for people who struggle with balance issues like dizziness when standing up straight after sitting down too long without moving around during class time too much at home before practice begins.”





You can do these sequences with your eyes closed if you want!

If you’re interested in doing the pose sequence with your eyes closed, imagine that you’re looking at a wall. Then do the pose as usual, and then open your eyes again to see what’s on the other side of that imaginary wall.


If you’re interested in doing the pose sequence with your eyes open, imagine that there is nothing around you except for yourself and everyone else performing this practice together (this could include other people watching from afar). Then proceed with doing whatever movements feel suitable for each pose. Once finished, close them again before opening them up again after breathing into each posture as we did before coming back here! We hope you enjoy practicing your ashtanga yoga sequences! We all have different goals and needs, so we recommend experimenting with other lines until you find the one that works for you.
