Ashtanga yoga is often thought of as a practice that requires a lot of time and commitment. But let’s face it—life doesn’t always make that easy. Between work, family, and personal goals, it can feel like there’s no room for yoga. Life, as we know, can be unpredictable, and sometimes even the best-laid plans don’t leave room for a long practice.
What if we didn’t have to choose between ‘life’ and our practice? What if there was a way to integrate the power of Ashtanga in just a few minutes, without losing the essence of the practice?
The beauty of Ashtanga lies in its adaptability, offering space to integrate yoga into your life in a way that works for you. Even with the traditional full series—there’s also so much flexibility in how we approach it.
It’s easy to think, “I’ll practice when I have more time.” The truth is, you don't need to wait for the perfect moment, even a short practice is better than no practice at all. You don’t need hours on the mat to experience the benefits of Ashtanga. A short practice can be just as transformative, just as grounding, and just as nourishing. It’s not about the length of time you spend—it’s about how you show up.
Short Practices , Big Impact
When time feels tight, it’s easy to skip your practice entirely. But even 15 or 20 minutes on your mat can leave you feeling grounded and reconnected. It’s easy to think of our yoga practice as something that only fits into a long stretch of uninterrupted time but, shorter practices often help us focus more on being present—on our breath, our body, and our intention.
It’s not about how long you practice; it’s about showing up. A brief session can be just as transformative as a full series, reminding you that you matter—even on the busiest days.
A full practice may take longer, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find peace, presence, and balance in 15, 20, or even 30 minutes. A quick practice can leave you feeling more grounded, clear, and connected.
The Ashtanga Remix: Designed for Your Busy Life
That’s why I created the Ashtanga Remix Manual—a collection of short, effective sequences designed for busy schedules. These sequences capture the essence of Ashtanga, helping you feel connected and balanced, even when you’re pressed for time.
Especially useful if you are exploring or considering building a traditional Ashtanga practice; you get a taste of what is to come in the primary and intermediate series.
Here's what's inside the manual:
5 Simple, effective sequences you can do in 15-30 minutes.
Adaptations of traditional Ashtanga sequences that you can easily modify to fit your schedule.
Tips for how to bring your practice into any part of your day.
A reminder that you don’t need to do it all, just do what you can.
No Perfect Moment Needed
The great thing about these short sequences is that you can do them anywhere, at any time. Whether it’s a quick morning ritual, a mid-afternoon reset, or an evening wind-down, there’s one that fits your schedule and energy.
Ashtanga doesn’t have to be about ticking all the boxes or completing every pose in the series. It’s about showing up and practicing with intention—no matter how much time you have.
You Don’t Need Hours, You Just Need Intention
Short practices are often the perfect antidote to a busy, demanding day. As opposed to a longer traditional Ashtanga practice, these mini-sequences are still packed with a lot of benefits. They help you move, breathe, and refocus. More importantly, they remind you that you can take just a few moments for yourself, even in the midst of a full schedule.
The most important thing is showing up. Even if it's just for 15 minutes, the commitment to your practice will always come back to you in ways you can’t always predict.
