Ashtanga Yoga From Zero: Start Your Practice Today
You do not need to be flexible or have a perfect routine to start. I teach Ashtanga that fits into a real life, guiding you through the fundamentals step by step so you can build a practice that feels like your own.
Our online course for beginners is designed to take you from the very first step. Over four weeks, we build a foundation of correct breathing, postures, and understanding of the Ashtanga method.
I offer several ways to begin your practice with me. The "Ashtanga from Zero" course is perfect for newcomers, providing video materials and daily support to create a sustainable, healthy habit.
In our beginner workshops, we break down the fundamentals. Here, we're working on Navasana (boat pose), building core strength that is essential for the entire Ashtanga practice.
We focus on the foundational principles, like the alignment in this preparatory pose for Pincha Mayurasana (forearm stand). Understanding the basics makes advanced postures accessible later on.
Teaching is a dialogue. In our workshops and courses, I take the time to explain the "why" behind each movement and answer every question, ensuring you feel confident and supported.
An invitation to our Ashtanga Intensive. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or an experienced student; we create a space where everyone can learn and deepen their practice.
Every success story starts with an imperfect you. You just start where you are. Don't wait for the perfect time; join our beginner's course and let's begin this journey together.
We often host live Q&A sessions on YouTube to discuss yoga, meditation, and how to return to the mat after a break. It's a chance for us to connect and learn from each other.
About Ashtanga From Zero: Your First Steps
Ashtanga can look intimidating, but the secret is breaking the Primary Series into small, manageable pieces. In my beginner sessions, we focus on the foundations of breathing and alignment, so you learn the why behind the pose instead of just mimicking shapes. Whether you are coming back after a long break or stepping onto the mat for the very first time, we work at your pace to make sure you feel safe and confident.
If you have been waiting for the right time to start yoga, I have news for you: there is no such thing as a perfect time. Life with a toddler taught me that. My beginner course is designed for the reality of your day, not some idealized version of it.
We start with the basics of the Ashtanga method: how to breathe, how to align your body, and how to build a routine that actually sticks. You will learn the opening and closing sequences, sun salutations, and fundamental postures that make up the Primary Series.
Why this approach works
- Technical depth: We do not just copy poses. I explain the mechanics of the movement so you understand how to protect your joints and use your core.
- Real-time feedback: Unlike a pre-recorded video where you guess if you are doing it right, our live online sessions mean I can spot your alignment issues on screen and guide you to safer, deeper expressions.
- Bilingual guidance: Classes are taught in English and Ukrainian, creating a space where language is not a barrier to your growth.
Starting with a strong foundation is the best way to prevent injury and avoid frustration. My goal is to get you to a point where you feel capable of rolling out your mat at home and knowing exactly what to do. You are not just learning a series of movements; you are building a toolset for mental and physical stability that you can carry with you forever.
