What Is Ashtanga Yoga?
Ashtanga Vinyasa is a dynamic system of Hatha yoga that synchronizes breath and movement in a flowing sequence of asanas. This practice builds strength, flexibility, and stamina, fostering overall well-being and focus.
Developed by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore and inspired by his guru Sri T. Krishnamacharya, Ashtanga Yoga was initially designed for soldiers. It gained global recognition in the 1960s when Jois began teaching Western students.
In this course, you will:
Learn: The primary series of asanas, practicing both in led and Mysore style classes.
- Master: The Tristana method (asana, Ujjayi breath, Drishti), Vinyasa (synchronized breath and movement), and Bandhas (energetic locks).
- Understand: How to modify and adjust postures for different anatomies.
- Explore: The philosophy of Ashtanga Yoga, including the eight limbs of Raja Yoga as detailed in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
