Free Course · No Experience Required

Start here. Free. Build your first consistent practice.

Ashtanga has a reputation for being intense and disciplined. But here's what they don't tell you: it's actually the gentlest gateway into a practice that sticks. Because it's the same sequence every time. Your mind can finally stop asking "what's next?" and start paying attention to what's happening now.

No experience needed. No mat required. Just your body, 20 minutes, and a desire to start.

Trusted by students in 40+ countries. Taught by Sushi Yogi — E-RYT 500HR, KPJAYI Mysore trained.

What You'll Learn

What you'll learn.

1

The core poses of the Ashtanga Fundamentals sequence

Five essential poses that open your hips, lengthen your spine, and build the foundation for everything else.

2

Ujjayi breath — your first anchor for a restless mind

The single most powerful tool to settle your nervous system and make your practice feel meditative instead of chaotic.

3

The Tristhana method — three things to hold onto so you can't overthink

How to align your breath, your gaze, and your bandhas so your mind actually has something to do besides spiral.

4

A printable sequence chart to practise from without needing a video playing

Follow the chart. No screen. No distractions. Just you and the sequence, the way Ashtanga was meant to be practised.

5

A daily practice structure: what to do, in what order, for how long

The exact framework that turns sporadic attempts into an actual habit. Twenty minutes. Every day. This is how it sticks.

This course is for you if…

You've never done yoga before and you want a structured start that actually makes sense

You tried yoga classes and felt overwhelmed — or lost — and gave up

You want a practice you can do at home, on your own time, without needing YouTube playing the whole time

You have 20 minutes a day but you want those 20 minutes to actually count

You're ready to stop saying "I'll start tomorrow" and actually build the habit today
