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 connection of body, mind, and soul. 'Ashtanga' means the eight-limbed path. One of these paths consists of the physical postures (asanas). Through dynamic movement elements (vinyasa), these postures are linked together. The foundation of the entire system is a special, deep breathing technique (ujjayi breath) – each asana is guided by the breath. In addition, certain muscular locks (bandhas) are held, which strengthen our core and ease our balance. Gaze points (drishtis) keep us focused. Through the dynamic nature of yoga, we achieve an optimal heating of the body that helps us stretch and purify it. 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 behaviors such as non-violence, mindfulness toward oneself 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 disseminated since the 1930s by the father of Ashtanga yoga, Pattabhi Jois, in Mysore. In fact, Ashtanga yoga is suitable for anyone who feels drawn to its content. In its fullest expression, Ashtanga yoga is a highly dynamic and powerful form of yoga. However, the level of dynamism should – or rather must – be adapted to individual needs." - Margit Brandstetter
