Welcome to the asana gallery of RideTheBreath.com.

The photographs below are a sampling of postures from the primary (1st), intermediate (2nd), and Advanced A (3rd) series of Ashtanga Yoga. They were taken by Kathy's brother, Ross Hallen, in Duke Gardens during the morning of July 15th, 2006. We offer them as an inspiration to students to explore the strength, balance, flexibility, and grace that the practice of Ashtanga Yoga can bring to the dedicated practitioner.

Namaste,

Kathy and Fran
