Root to Rise

In this foundational Rocket and Ashtanga master class we will bring our awareness to the root of practice.
This is known as Tristana Yoga Method in Ashtanga Yoga. We will focus on our breath, bandhas and drishti.
Our breath in yoga is Ujjayi pranayama. We we learn how to do this breath and how to practice in traditional Sun Salutations A and B.
We will practice the rhythm of this breath to drums and discuss our points of focus, or our drishti.
We will discuss what our 3 bandhas (energy locks) are and how they unravel our granthis (energy knots)
After we root
We begin to rise
We will begin to play will flying handstand transitions as seen on Rocket Vinyasa.
