Movement is your birthright—and yoga is one of the most powerful ways to remember it.

In this experiential introduction to Primal Vinyasa, founder Annie Adamson invites you to feel yoga differently by moving in ways you may never have explored before. Through playful yet purposeful drills, ground-based exploration, and nontraditional movement patterns, you’ll step outside familiar asana shapes and reconnect with the body’s natural intelligence.

Rooted in yoga therapy, developmental movement, and vinyasa, this course helps you unlearn rigid habits and rediscover movement as something curious, adaptive, and enjoyable. Rather than focusing on how a pose should look, Primal Vinyasa emphasizes how movement feels—using breath, sensory awareness, and whole-body coordination to support joint health and nervous system regulation.

Across short, accessible classes, you’ll explore fundamental movement, contralateral coordination, proprioception, ground reaction force, and migration through hands-on practice. Expect to crawl, squat, reach, rebound, and transition between the ground and standing in ways that expand your movement vocabulary and deepen your relationship to yoga.

This course is suitable for all levels and is especially supportive for practitioners and teachers seeking a functional, embodied, and joyful approach to yoga.

What You’ll Learn:

• How developmental movement, breath mechanics, and sensory awareness support a functional yoga practice.

• How contralateral movement, proprioception, and ground reaction force improve joint health and support healthier asana and transitions.

What You’ll Experience:

• Playful movement drills exploring crawling, squatting, reaching, rebounding, and migrating.

• Practices that move fluidly between the ground and standing to support whole-body integration.
