AstangaYoga

Yoga Astanga

Yoga Ashtanga Translates as eight limbs. The Asanas (postures) make up the third limb and these are taught first to the practitioner as a means to purify and prepare the body for meditation. The asanas work to cleanse the nadis (energy channels) in the body allowing the body to become purified and healthy.

The practice of Ashtanga Yoga is a powerful practice; each posture is linked by another series of postures called Vinyasa. A breath dictates each movement therefore the practice, once you are familiar with the asanas, can become a moving meditation. As the asanas are added and there becomes control over the mind through a focus on the breath then the other limbs of Ashtanga Yoga begin to take shape and enable us to work towards a pure mind also.

As you move through the exercises, they will create intense heat causing you to sweat profusely. This will help to detoxify your body and improve your circulation, flexibility, and stamina. It will also bring you a sense of peace and calm... and I would imagine it would also bring a good sense of accomplishment!

It is also believed to bring great clarity and understanding of oneself and ones personality and place in the world.
