Ashtanga Yoga

About the Class

Ashtanga Yoga is a vigorous and demanding style of yoga that links together the breath and a progressive series of postures. The method was developed by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, who taught for many years in Mysore, India. The series of postures—commonly called a routine—is always done in the same order and gives internally practicing students a sense of secure structure. At the same time, this structure provides creative room for instructors to teach dynamically in their classes. The heat produced by linking breath and movement results in detoxifying internal organs, improving circulation, expanding range of motion, and settling the mind in a calm, centered state. Ashtanga Yoga provides a chance to amplify your practice and hone your strength, balance, and mental acuity, whether you are a well-versed yogi or an eager novice. The room will be warm, so be ready to sweat, keep your breath steady, and move through this transformative sequence with the kind of flow that makes it an oft-repeated mantra in motion.
