MEET YOUR COACH
Hi, I'm Jen. The founder of Ashtanga Central, the global hub for Ashtanga Yoga. I'm also the creator of The Yoga Mentorship Program, Introduction To Ashtanga, and the hugely popular Pilates For Yogis. I've trained thousands of students across the globe.
I've been teaching Ashtanga yoga for 15 years. I had a thriving Mysore program in Washington, DC that I directed for over eight years. I taught and trained under Tim Miller at the Ashtanga Yoga Center in Carlsbad, CA.
I've practiced under the most senior teachers in Ashtanga Yoga, I've made multiple trips to India, and logged tens of thousands of hours practicing. And I am going to share all this knowledge that I have accumulated over the past twenty years with you in the Primary Series Interactice.
I believe that the transformative effects of Ashtanga Yoga are for everyone has been the cornerstone of my highly acclaimed in-person trainings, retreats, and coaching.
I am taking all of my experience to create an easy-to-follow roadmap designed to help you deepen your Ashtanga practice. This six-week course provides a deep dive into both the physical, energetic, and spiritual aspects of the Second Series of Ashtanga Yoga.

WEEK ONE
Now: Nadi Shodhana
Ever wonder why Intermediate Series leaves you feeling so different than Primary Series? In week one you'll learn the about how Intermediate Series works and what you can do in Primary Series to get ready for it.
Course work will include applying the fundamentals and keys in Primary Series to postures in Intermediate Series.
WEEK TWO
Backbends of Intermediate
Explore the backbends of Intermediate Series in week two. You'll learn modifications and how to use props, tap into strength, and go deeper into your backbend. Plus you will have an opportunity to share videos of your own backbends for us to analyze together and look for ways to improve them.
WEEK THREE
Transitions and Deep Hip Opening
This week we will talk about the transition poses that link the back-bending section to the hip-opening section.
We will discuss prana and apana patterns in the body and postures.
WEEK FOUR
Taking Flight!
Do you struggle with strength? There are periodic checks for lightness throughout Intermediate Series. And these checks keep you honest about your strength. This week you'll learn how to breakdown the hardest postures into manageable steps. And you'll learn strength drills to do to make the impossible, possible.
WEEK FIVE
Stay Open
After all the strengthening you might feel your shoulders start to tighten up. This section of Intermediate makes sure you maintain flexibility.
Finally, you'll explore the seven deadlies. Your final check on your central axis is saved for last. Find out why these postures are critical to your practice.
WEEK SIX
Final Backbends and Closing Postures
Delve into the final backbend sequence. But, it's grown up. Learn the techniques to make your backbend comfortable and sustainable while adding a new degree of difficulty.
Let the sweet residue of the practice settle in through a thorough exploration of the closing sequence.

Past Student Rave About Ashtanga on Fire!
Stacy
Ashtanga Student
"Jen has a commanding presence - and it translates will both on FB and video calls. It is fascinating to me how she can "diagnose" our videos so well. I had complete trust in the material/teacher."
Natasha
Ashtanga Student
"The Second Series Training with Jen totally re-inspired my love for this beautiful & transformative practice. It was made accessible for everyone, in a fun, informative & safe environment. I cannot wait to spend more time practicing with this awesome teachers."
Allison Gabbert
Ashtanga Student
"Jen's Second Series Interactive Online course provided an "in person" experience through the effective use of technology and her vast teaching experience. It was as good if not better than being there in person - because I can go back to the videos and FB group and re-watch lessons. I enhanced my own practice and learned from the struggles of others in the course group."
Arnaud
Ashtanga Student
"I've been stuck at researching Eka Pada Sirsasana for several years... Jen's suggestion of paying more attention to some specific primary series poses as well as researching/practicing (without glossing over anything) up to Tittibhasana E is looking very promising (time and practice will tell)."

Frequently Asked Questions
Of course I'd love to see you on the live calls. But, I know that we all have lives outside of our yoga practice! You can submit questions in advance. All calls will be recorded and the recordings will be posted on the course website - so you can watch them at your convenience.
You should be comfortable with the primary series of Ashtanga yoga.
The course is six weeks long. There are six weeks worth of prerecorded videos. There is a live call every week of the course to discuss what you watched.
There will be videos and practice prompts assigned to you each week of the course. And you will have a little pre-course work.
No problem. We will build a solid foundation, break down the poses step by step so you have lots to work with, and make connections to primary series.
Plus, you will have access to all the videos for one full year, so you can go back and review as your practice progresses.
This course is still for you!
We are never really "finished" with a series anyhow. There is always more to learn, especially as things continue to shift and change.
This course will help you make connections between Intermediate Series and Primary as well as Advanced Series - so you can extract more from your current practice.
You will have unlimited streaming access to the course for 1 full year.
