Ashtanga Yoga
🪷Yoga is not only physical, it's the mastery of the mind🪷
Shri K. Pattabhi Jois
Ashtanga Yoga was formalized by Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois or Guruji for his students. It refers to 8 limbs or stages that are accomplished progressively (although not obligatorily in order) and out of great discipline. The physical practice (asana) in the Ashtanga system is conducted by the Vinyasa or the syncronization of movement and breath: for each movement one breath. Guruji’s method is based on the teachings of Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, modern yoga’s pioneer thanks to whom yoga arrives to the western world thanks to the diffusion carried by his students. Ashtanga is a very dynamic and athletic form of hatha yoga, made up of six series or levels, with a fixed order of postures. While it is a very physical practice, it also promotes mental clarity and inner peace.
