The brilliant international yoga teacher, Olivier David, visited us on the 7th of May.
We opened the class with traditional chanting, settling us into a quiet space. He explained to us what Ashtanga yoga is, and how Ashtange relates to other styles of yoga like Hatha, Yin, Jivamukthi etc. He explained the difficult concepts and yoga philosophies with ease and in a manner that is soft and easy to understand.
Olivier lead us through the beginning of the Ashtanga sequence. His anatomy knowledge and use of Bandhas are incredible.
Olivier left us feeling inspired, grateful, peaceful, and blown away 🙂
