Astanga

Astanga yoga Is a traditional set of sequenced postures taught to the western world by Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois since 1927. Pattabhi now in his early nineties is still active within the yoga community and has taught thousands of yoga students over the past 80 years. 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).
