Ashtanga Yoga, developed by K. Pattabhi Jois, is a dynamic style of yoga that enhances flexibility, strength, stress management, and inner calmness.
Rooted in the eight limbs of yoga as outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Ashtanga Yoga incorporates postures, concentration, meditation, and ethical principles to create a holistic practice.
The practice begins with five repetitions of Surya Namaskar A and B, followed by a structured standing sequence. The powerful and rhythmic movements in Ashtanga Yoga not only build physical endurance but also promote the purification of the mind and body, fostering deep focus and self-growth.
