Ashtang yoga

Ashtanga yoga is a system of yoga transmitted to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009). Ashtanga yoga is a traditional and dynamic form of yoga that follows a specific sequence of postures (asanas) linked together with breath (vinyasa). It emphasizes synchronized breath and movement, internal heat generation, and a structured series of poses. Ashtanga yoga aims to purify the body and mind through regular practice, promoting strength, flexibility, and inner awareness.
