Yoga - Ashtanga Inspired

"Ashtanga yoga is a life philosophy, a way of living, a journey whose goal is to find yourself. The Sanskrit word "Yoga" means "to unite" – referring to the union of body, mind, and soul. "Ashtanga" means the eight-limbed path. One of these paths is the physical practice (Asanas). Through dynamic movement elements (Vinyasa), these postures are linked together. The foundation of the entire system is a special, deep breathing technique (Ujjayi breathing) – every Asana is guided by the breath. In addition, specific muscular locks (Bandhas) are engaged to strengthen our core and support our balance. Gaze points (Drishtis) keep us focused. Through the dynamic nature of yoga, we achieve an optimal internal heat that helps us to stretch and purify the body. At the same time, through concentration, meditation, and steady breathing, we bring body, mind, and soul back into balance. Beyond the practice of physical postures, yoga also includes principles such as non-violence, mindfulness toward yourself and others, love of truth, self-discipline, breathing exercises, and meditation... Like many other schools of yoga, Ashtanga yoga has its origins in India. This ancient form of yoga was recorded by the Indian sage Patanjali and has been taught since the 1930s by the father of Ashtanga yoga, Pattabhi Jois, in Mysore. In truth, Ashtanga yoga is suitable for anyone who feels drawn to its content. In its full expression, Ashtanga yoga is a highly dynamic and powerful form of yoga. However, the level of intensity should – or rather must – be adapted to individual needs." - Margit Brandstetter
