Guidance, Advice and Adjustments
A guide on 'how to do postures carefully', Shelley offers valuable advice on how to execute postures safely and in here she offers alternative ways to practice the postures as you progress. This is a very useful and important recording for all ashtanga yoga practitioners to have as part of their learning journey. Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic and graceful practice, beautifully synchronising breath and movement. It follows a therapeutic and progressive sequence of postures. Whilst it is energetic, it is truly a flowing meditation. Asanas (postures) give the body strength, flexibility and purify the system, all the postures have been designed in a particular set order, so in time we may feel a sense of balance and harmony. The Primary Series, Yoga Chikitsa means Yoga Therapy, intending to re-align the body. This practice is uplifting and freeing, thoughts slow down, mind becomes calmer and one's attention is brought to the present moment. Note: There is a video that has a beginners advice section to guide the beginner on the journey of Ashtanga Yoga, however, these videos are not a substitute for a qualified Ashtanga Yoga teacher. It is only to be used as a reference to support your existing practice. Only use the Primary series as your practice reference, the demo is just for viewing and inspirational purposes only.
REVIEW
“I practised the asana (postures) with video yesterday and it's wonderful. I had been taught part of the Ashtanga Yoga by Shelley Osman over a three year period until she moved to Cumbria. Working through the Primary series with Shelley's guidance on the video felt like she is right here in my room beside me. All that is missing is her gentle hands assisting me in some postures. thank you Shelley for creating this, it's perfect inspiration to setting me back on the path to quieten the mind".

The Full Primary Series Asana A3 Poster
This is a beautiful poster with clearly photographed pictures of Shelley Osman practicing the
Full Ashtanga Primary Series, broken down in such a way that you can see every asana clearly with the names and correct sequence that each asana flows in, correct breathing is indicated.
These videos are not glamorous, they are not filmed in a tropical location, in designer yoga wear, on an expensive yoga mat, nor are they perfectly filmed.
They are of a dedicated practitioner and teacher who wishes just to inspire others to learn this method. It is of Shelley Osman as she is, one filming take, inviting you to join her to learn the method in its pure form, not caring about the sales look.
Shelley just wants to share with you, that's it! These are for anyone really interested and serious about this method and style of yoga and maybe this very quiet teacher.
It is for the everyday person, to show you that all is possible, whoever you are.
Warning: There is not glitz and glamour here!
You will feel like you are just in a class with Shelley Osman.
