Nuances and refinements in the various aspects of vinyasa, bandha, dristhi and yoga philosophy will be presented, with explanations on the activation and integration of the core muscular and energetic locks Mula Bandha and Uddiyana Bandha. Detailed breakdowns and modifications for the more challenging poses in the series such as Maricasana D, Bhujapidasana and Supta Kurmasana will also be provided, giving beginners and veterans alike access to further deepening and refining their practice.

The workshop will begin with a led class on Ashtanga Yoga’s Full Primary Series, followed by White Space’s first ever kirtan (call-and-response chanting) session with Clayton himself leading!
