Ashtanga Explorations Yoga Practice

Ashtanga is a traditional style of yoga developed by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in the mid-twentieth century. Named after the eight limbs of yoga as laid out by Patanjali (asta ('eight') + anga ('limb')), Ashtanga yoga incorporates the essence of each of those limbs in one dynamic, flowing sequence of postures.

This asana sequence is inextricably linked to deep, controlled breath, and is performed in the same order each time, allowing students to learn the breath and sequence by heart. By focusing on the rhythm and repeating patterns of poses, you will improve the mind's ability to concerntrate.

This is a rejuvenating practice, offering practitioners the ability to develop strength, flexibility, mental focus, tenacity, inner calm, and patience. Take the time learning to face physical difficulty not only tempers the ego but provides a sense of achievement that will filter into other areas of your life.
