Ep 176 Adam Keen – Don’t Have Time For An Ashtanga Practice?

Keen on Yoga Podcast

Adam discusses the concept of short forms in Ashtanga Yoga. He explains that while the traditional practice involves doing the entire series every day, it is not always practical or beneficial.

Key Points

Short forms in Ashtanga Yoga can be a sensible approach when time, energy, or inspiration are limited.

Variation in practice is important to prevent stagnation and maintain enthusiasm.

Short forms should still incorporate the principles of posture, counter posture, building, and vinyasa.

Grounding and ending the practice with a focus on the parasympathetic nervous system is essential.

Practitioners should listen to their bodies and make adjustments to their practice as needed.
