What if I can’t do all the poses in the primary series?

The course is a Vinyasa certification with roots in Ashtanga Yoga. The primary series is introduced and taught; however if you are not familiar with all the poses it is perfectly fine. Traditionally students of Ashtanga only practice the poses that are accessible to them and stop there but we introduce you to all the poses even if they are not yet attainable just to give you exposure.
