what is ashtanga yoga?
 
Shri K. Pattabhi Jois
 
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga (sometimes referred to as Power Yoga) is both an art
and a technology which addresses the physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing
of the practitioner. This powerful practice of integrating breath, movement and
awareness aligns, purifies and tones the body while it rejuvenates the nervous
system and calms the mind. Ashtanga practitioners can ultimately experience
profound states of Yoga (or union of body, mind and spirit) on and off the mat.


The Primary Series, the prescribed starting point for all students of Ashtanga, is
the focus of this class. This workshop is designed to introduce newcomers of
all fitness and flexibility levels to the fundamentals of this dynamic discipline and
to safely lead them through portions of the Primary Series.
