Common Mistakes in Padahastasana 🍃
Your head is not supposed to forcefully touch the knees.
The bend doesn’t begin from the neck — it begins from the hamstrings.

✨ In Padahastasana: • Don’t dump pressure into the cervical spine.

• Lengthen through the thoracic region instead of collapsing.

• Press the abdomen gently against the thighs.

• Allow the hamstrings to open gradually.

• Fold with awareness, not ego.

Yoga is not about how close your head gets to your knees —
it’s about how safely your body breathes into the posture. 🕊️

In our Ashtanga practice, the pose is only the doorway. What lies beyond it — in the breath, the energy, the deep intelligence of the body — is where true healing begins.

Ashtanga Yoga is one of the most complete and disciplined systems of yoga ever codified. Its genius lies not in the physical perfection of its postures, but in the synergy it creates between movement, breath, and interior energy — a synergy that allows the body to become its own healer.

In our classes, we go beyond the surface. Every session is designed to work on you from the inside out — stimulating and regulating the very systems that govern your health, vitality, and emotional balance.
