About Your Teacher:
Hi! I'm Adarsh Williams and I've been practicing Ashtanga since 1998. After living in Mysore for the better part of 3 years, I received Ashtanga Authorization directly from Pattabhi Jois, and was upgraded to Level 2 by Sharath Jois in 2009. I've had many wonderful mentors and students along the way that have motivated me to keep improving in my teaching.

About Your Teacher:
Hi! I'm Adarsh Williams and I've been engaged in the Wellness field for over 25 years. During that time, I’ve learned a lot about the best practices related to yoga, stretching, and mobility. I love to share this insight with others!
In this video, we practice Active Isolated Stretching, an effective technique where you only hold the stretch for 2 seconds. These short duration stretches allow for maximum length in the muscle without triggering the protective stretch reflex.

Ashtanga Yoga: Full Primary Series with Adarsh Williams (Authorized Level 2)
Kata is a Japanese word meaning “form”.
Usually, we hear the word Kata in reference to the choreographed movements within a martial art form such as Karate. When I was studying Shiatsu, we learned a specific Kata for the treatment of clients.
Kata is a Way of Doing, rather than rote repetition. This is an important distinction because Kata gives a Foundation that more easily lends itself to adaptation and spontaneity.
In the yoga world, we have a similar idea of organized form within the Vinyasa Krama method.
In Vinyasa Krama, each Asana has a set number of Breath-Coordinated Movements leading to the State of the Asana and back to the beginning.
For example, a Sun Salutation A Series has an “assigned” Vinyasa number of 9, meaning there are 9 breath-coordinated movements in the “A” Series. From there, each Asana Sequence follows a Specific number of Vinyasa.
In this video:
- 68 Minute Follow Along Class
- Traditional Sequences from The Primary Series
- Vinyasa for each Asana counted in Sanskrit
- Guided Pranayama
- Guided Relaxation

Union of Opposite
Joining the hands in "prayer" position is the ubiquitous symbol of Yoga. While it may seem a humble gesture, the joining of opposites, left/right, light/dark, feminine/masculine, is a powerful expression of wholeness in an ever fragmented reality.
Join Adarsh for this meditation on wholeness, now available as a video podcast!
