Breathe Together Yoga has announced a "Sama Ashtanga 5-Day Yoga Intensive" featuring senior-certified Ashtanga Vinyasa teacher Chuck Miller. The in-studio event is scheduled for Thursday, July 23, through Monday, July 27, 2026 Source.

This intensive is designed to progressively explore ancient wisdom within the Ashtanga Vinyasa practice, starting with basic principles and moving towards more essential aspects. The curriculum emphasizes a 'beginner's mind' approach to foster deeper understanding and development.

Intensive Focus and Structure

The program aims to build a strong foundation, dynamic-stability, and integrate these elements into a living practice. Participants will concentrate on core practices, referred to as "Breath Roots Core," to encourage a natural and authentic unfolding of their yoga journey. The intensive will also touch upon the concept of retreating to advance, cultivating patience and persistence.

The workshop will consist of five full days, each with a morning and an afternoon session, combining both practical application and theoretical discussion. Attendees are encouraged to participate in all sessions for the full progressive experience, as the entire intensive is structured as a single, cohesive class.
