Ashtanga yoga is a dynamic, structured style of yoga that links breath with movement in a flowing sequence. It was developed by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and is known for its discipline, physical intensity, and meditative rhythm.

What to expect in class:
• 🔹 Set sequence – Students practice a specific series of postures in the same order each time. The most common is the Primary Series (Yoga Chikitsa, “Yoga Therapy”).
• 🔹 Breath & movement – Movements are synchronized with deep, controlled breathing (called ujjayi breath), creating a meditative flow.
• 🔹 Vinyasa transitions – Between poses, there are flowing transitions (chaturanga, upward dog, downward dog), keeping the practice continuous and energizing.
• 🔹 Bandhas (energy locks) – Engagement of the core and pelvic muscles helps with stability and internal energy flow.
• 🔹 Drishti (gaze point) – Each posture has a specific gaze point, training focus and concentration.

Benefits:
• Builds strength, stamina, and flexibility
• Improves focus and discipline
• Detoxifies the body through heat and sweating
