Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga yoga is a traditional practice developed by Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya in the early 20th century. It is rooted in the "eight limbs" philosophy from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. This approach follows a structured series of postures linked with breath, creating a flowing sequence that fosters balance, flexibility, and focus. Ashtanga emphasizes the harmonious connection between breath and movement, helping practitioners cultivate a calm, meditative state as they progress.

Since its introduction to the West, Ashtanga has grown in popularity, with modifications that make it accessible to people of all backgrounds and abilities. Its blend of movement, breath, and introspection appeals to those seeking a mindful practice grounded in ancient wisdom. Today, Ashtanga invites practitioners to experience a path toward self-awareness, combining traditional teachings with modern wellness principles.
