Manage episode 284693975 series 2645134
Practice a series of poses from the Ashtanga Primary and Intermediate Series in a way that is more accessible for the average yogi.
Ashtanga Yoga is a form of yoga as made popular by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, as taught to him by his yoga teacher Sri T. Krishnamacharya. It is a strict vinyasa yoga practiced in a fixed sequence of poses, where movement, breath (ujjayi pranayama), locks (bandha), and steady gaze (drishti) lead the yogi consciously from pose to pose. The name comes from Maharishi Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, where the aspirant practices 8 limbs (or steps in a practice) of yoga for self-mastery.
Vinyasa Yoga sequences, when practiced regularly (abhyasa), with dedication and non-attachment (vairagyabhyam) will lead the yogi through self-mastery (nirodah) - to a steady, calm, peaceful state of being that is free from afflictions.
Namaste.
