Astanga

Astanga yoga Is a traditional set of sequenced postures taught to the western world by Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois since 1927. The practice flows from one posture to another in a vinyasa (dynamic) style incorporating flexibility, strength & corrective yoga strategies. It generates heat and energy within the body allowing the student to progressively deepen their practice whilst developing self observation and cultivating a non-judgemental attitude. This practice focuses on the breath, which is the central technique by which the mind is observed and controlled. The sequence has 6 stages, the first aims to realign the body anatomically. Astanga is taught in three formats; beginners (for new yoga and astanga students), led (teacher providing instruction) and mysore (move at own pace with adjustment and supervision).
