Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga is a structured form of yoga that synchronizes breath with a series of specific physical postures. Developed by Sri Pattabhi Jois, it emphasizes discipline, consistency, and internal focus. Practitioners follow a set sequence of poses, progressing through foundational to advanced levels, fostering strength, flexibility, and mental clarity. The practice incorporates Ujjayi breathing (victorious breath) and bandhas (body locks) to enhance focus and energy flow. Ashtanga aims to cultivate a balanced mind and body, combining physical movement with breath control and meditation, ultimately leading to heightened awareness and inner peace.
