Ashtanga Love Notes Series - Lucy Crawford, 'The Chai Sessions'
This episode is the first in a short series I’m sharing called Ashtanga Love Notes.
I feel Ashtanga has fallen a bit out of fashion and often gets a bad rep for being too difficult, rigid, and well, old school! So I want to talk with friends who like me still practise and teach Ashtanga. And still love it too!
We’ll talk about what we love, what keeps us coming back and what challenges and highlights it’s brought us along the way. Imagine these love notes hand written and close to my heart…
And so to my first guest on the series, Lucy Crawford!
I just loved this conversation and I hope you do too.

    Thanks so much for this lovely gentle video! I love your very natural and relaxed teaching style. The content of the video was excellent too. I'm so pleased I started looking at some smaller channels during this global crisis because I have found some really great videos and made some great new friends. I am trying to do my bit to support smaller channels that I think should get more love. I've subscribed to your UA-cam channel so hopefully that will help a little bit. I'll also send a link to my students as I know that they will enjoy doing this lovely gentle routine. I know it's a bit cheeky to ask but if you have a bit of time could you check out my UA-cam channel and see what you think. Any feedback would be helpful. If you happen to like my channel and subscribe to it that would be great! We smaller channels need to stick together! Lets grow together. Lots of love and best wishes, Sefali x
