Yoga - Ashtanga Inspired

"Ashtanga yoga is a philosophy of life, 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 eightfold 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 breath) – every asana is guided by the breath. In addition, certain energy locks (bandhas) are held, which strengthen our core and help us find balance. Gaze points (drishtis) keep us focused. Through the dynamic nature of yoga, we achieve an optimal heat in the body that helps us to stretch and purify it. At the same time, through concentration, meditation, and steady breathing, we practice bringing body, mind, and soul back into harmony. Beyond the practice of physical postures, yoga also encompasses ways of conduct such as non-violence, mindfulness toward oneself and others, truthfulness, self-discipline, breathing exercises, meditation... Like many other schools of yoga, Ashtanga yoga has its origins in India. This ancient form of yoga was documented by the Indian sage Patanjali and has been spread 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 very dynamic and powerful form of yoga. However, the level of dynamism should – or must – be adapted to individual needs." - Margit Brandstetter
