Ep 231 Adam Keen – Why Everyone Should Practice a Version of Ashtanga Intermediate Series

Adam discusses the importance of the Intermediate Series in Ashtanga Yoga, arguing against the common gatekeeping practices that prevent students from exploring these postures. He emphasizes the complementary nature of the Primary and Intermediate Series, advocating for a more integrated approach to practice. Keen highlights the significance of understanding the foundational principles behind each posture rather than merely striving for the ideal shape. He encourages practitioners to make a start with the Intermediate Series, regardless of their current abilities, and to seek guidance that fosters a deeper understanding of their practice.
