About Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga is a physically powerful and challenging practice that uses the breath to keep the mind drawn inward and focused for a meditative experience. As a complete mind and body workout, Ashtanga Yoga helps to develop concentration, reduce stress and loosen muscles. Practicing Ashtanga Yoga will allow you to develop physical strength, increased endurance and greater flexibility.

The practice of Ashtanga Yoga is an ancient and powerful discipline for achieving physical, mental and spiritual health. The Ashtanga practice, which consists of six progressively difficult series of linked postures, was developed by Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. Each series unlocks a particular aspect of the body and mind.The primary series (Yoga Chikitsa) detoxifies and aligns the body. The intermediate series (Nadi Shodana) purifies the nervous system by opening and cleansing the energy channels. The four advanced ABCD series (Sthira Bhaga) integrate the strength and grace of the practice requiring higher levels of flexibility and humility.
