This programme requires 5-6 days a week of ashtanga yoga practice: three mysore-style practices (Tuesday, Friday and Sunday), one led 1/4 Series practice (Thursday),  one led full primary series (Saturday) & 1x at home.  1-2 rest days / week. It's accessible to all, including pregnant moms that have been practicing yoga before. We don't recommend the only class on Thursday morning in the hot room for pregnant moms that never practiced hot yoga before.

The format of the practice always remains the same; one always begins practice with Surya Namaskar, concludes with Padmasana and rest, and the various asanas gradually fill the space between these two poles. Learning yoga in this traditional manner benefits the student on many levels. It is possible for one to gain independence and confidence in their sadhana (spiritual practice), as well, something truly becomes one’s own when they learn it by heart. 

It is through the daily practice of Ashtanga Yoga that we draw it into ourselves, understand it, and become proficient in its methods, thereby reaping its wide range of benefits. For this to be accomplished, a slow, dedicated and patient approach is best.
