Ashtanga Yoga Home Practice Kit

You'll need:
Practice Space
Practice Surface
Comfortable clothing
Yoga Mala book

Method:
1. Tristhana - Focus on breathing (through the nose, around the ribs), squeezing anus, concentrating the gaze
2. When not to practice - first 3 days of menstruation, sick with fever, saturday or sunday, full/new moon day

What to practice -
Surya Namaskar A 1-5 times and last three asanas each day until you can keep the tristhana the whole time. If you can maintain that for at least a week, then add the next element, Surya Namaskar B.
Repeat Surya Namaskar A 1-5 times and Surya Namaskar A 1-3 times and last three asanas each day until you can keep the tristhana the whole time. If you can maintain that for at least a week, then add the next element, padangusthasana and padahastasana.
Keep going like this and eventually get yourself to a teacher!

Home Practice Support

What to do if you can't make it to a Shala everyday.

Establish a relationship with a living person.
Ideally with just one.
Drop in when you can.
Workshops and retreats.

Create a space.
Clean, distraction free.
Regular time of day.
Quality, not quantity.

In the meantime.
Yoga Mala.
Sharath DVD
Sharath CD

Should I practice if (continued)... by Elise Espat

I don't have very much time?
Yes. Do what you have time for.

I'm running late?
Yes. See above. Quality, never quantity.

I don't have a local shala and I've never established an Ashtanga practice?
Yes.

I don't have a local shala but I do have an established practice?
Yes.
