Ashtanga yoga as taught by Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India focuses first on daily asana practice. Taking daily asana practice will strengthen the body, mind and sense organs preparing the student for the other limbs of Ashtanga yoga. It is very important to practice asanas "Postures"with vinyasa.
Vinyasa literally means"Movement Breathing System"
By synchronising movements with Ujjayi breathing "Deep Breathing" and applying Mula Bandha (Root Lock) and Uddiyana Bandha (Abdominal Lock) an intense internal heat is produced within the body causing a profuse sweat. This sweat cleanses and purifies muscles and organs releasing unwanted toxins.
When the focus is on working through the correct number of vinyasa the practice becomes very concentrated, breathing is rhythmic, the body is strong and the mind calm.
Ashtanga literally means "Eight Limbs"
Yama (moral codes)
Niyama (self purification)
Asana (posture)
Pranayama (breath control)
Pratyahara (sense control)
Dharana (concentration)
Dhyana (meditation)
