The course will take place over two weekends:
1st weekend: Intro to Ashtanga, Foundations of the practice (Tristhana), Surya A & B, and standing sequence
2nd weekend: sittings positions (till navasana), and closing sequence
This course will be for beginners, but everyone seeking inspiration and better understanding of the Primary Series should feel welcome to join.

About Dimitra in her own words:
I've been practicing Ashtanga Yoga since 2015. My gratitude for this journey, my teachers and yogic friends could not fit into words.
I see yoga as a path for uncovering what is subtle, what is layering under and is hidden from the conscious self, what was always there defining who we are, how we feel for ourselves and the world, the patterns of our conditioned thinking.
A way for approaching our authentic self.
