Ashtanga Yoga Birmingham

A long time hope of mine is happening this Friday: Erin Wilbanks is teaching at AYB!

Introducing Yoga for Pain with Erin.

This donation-based offering will begin this Friday at 1030am and is for anyone with pain. Chronic, widespread, pesky little pains. Lingering, annoying, life-altering pains. Old injuries that flare up. You name it! But pain is not only in the (physical) body. It lives in the brain… & likely, in the heart. This class is the perfect place to be present with what your body is trying to tell you.

Open to all levels, all bodies, and all beings, this class will focus on strengthening the body thru play & curiosity; settling the body & breath thru relaxation & meditation; & exploring the mind-body connection to create more safety in the nervous system.

Yoga* for Pain may integrate non-yoga modalities as well, such as intuitive movement, dance, and somatic practices. Please join Erin with an open mind & an open heart to educate & empower yourself & ease your pain.

We’re opening up our Teacher Training weekends to the whole community — you don’t need to be enrolled in the full 200-Hour program to join. Come as a practice intensive to deepen your own study, or attend for 35 continuing education hours (Yoga Alliance CEUs) to support your existing certification. Teacher trainees, CEU-seeking teachers, and dedicated practitioners will all be learning side by side.

Four weekends, four different lenses on the Primary Series:
Weekend 1: Primary Series & the Philosophy of Yoga — Oct 14–18, 2026 (5 days, 35 CEUs)
Weekend 2: Primary Series & the Vajrayana Path of Buddhism — Nov 13–15, 2026 (3 days, 21 CEUs)
Weekend 3: Primary Series & the Mysore Way — Jan 15–17, 2027 (3 days, 21 CEUs)
Weekend 4: Primary Series & the Eight Limbs of Ashtanga — Feb 12–14, 2027 (3 days, 21 CEUs)

Each weekend combines daily Mysore-style practice with focused study — philosophy, Buddhism, the Mysore method, the eight limbs — plus teaching methodology and hands-on practicum. Attend one, attend all four.
