led primary series at the dow art gallery
Led primary series classes are happening every Friday at 6:30 AM, located at the Dow Art Gallery in St. Paul. Instructors will alternate between Vaughn and Vaughn’s teacher, Ellie Wannemacher.
Classes are intended for students with some experience with the Ashtanga primary series. The classes, counted in Sanskrit, are designed to provide a harmonic practice between students, allow for deeper concentration within one’s own practice and to develop further integration of asana, breath and movement.

intro to ashtanga yoga half primary series
The Ashtanga half primary series is a shorter-form practice and therefore acts as an introduction to the method. Students who are new to Ashtanga yoga receive the benefits of a guided practice along with detailed instruction. Vaughn teaches half primary series exclusively to groups who are interested in experiencing the Ashtanga method for the first time. In this 2-hour-long class, Vaughn takes time to explain the vinyasa count, proper breath control, Sanskrit translations and methodology for each asana.
The guided half primary series works well as an addition to yoga teacher trainings or workshops whose focus is on exposing students to various yogic paths.
