Ashtanga Yoga
In the tradition of Shri K. Pattabhi Jois (Mysore) Ashtanga Yoga is an ancient system of Yoga that was explained by Vamana Rishi in the Yoga Korunta. This text was imparted to Sri T. Krishnamacharya in the early 1900’s by his Guru Rama Mohan Brahmachari, and was later passed down to Pattabhi Jois during the duration of his studies with Krishnamacharya, beginning in 1927.
Ashtanga is the highly evolved art and science of interconnecting body, mind and breath. If properly learned and regularly practiced, this unique system can physically put you in the best shape of your life and keep all your faculties at their peak.
What draws people to Ashtanga is the Vinayasa method that emphasizes on continuous flow from one posture into the next without a break. This is done through the coordination of breath and movement causing heat in the body, and the resultant sweat burns away all the impurities bringing a feeling of peace and aliveness.
Another feature of Ashtanga is Tristhana. This means the three places of attention or action: posture, breathing system and the point to focus your gaze. These three are very important for yoga practice, and cover three levels of purification: the body, nervous system and mind. They are always performed in conjunction with each other.
With the regular practice of Ashtanga Yoga and physiologically right diet, one can take every aspect of health to a whole new level and feel and function at the highest level possible.
Yoga can be done by anyone regardless of age or physical ability. The practice is different for each person and should be done at a pace that’s appropriate for him/her.
Ashtanga Yoga session typically begins with Surya Namaskar A and B and concludes with 3 finishing postures and rest : in between these two, one performs various asanas based on his experience and ability.
