About Astanga Yoga
Astanga is an athletic form of yoga. Students move through a series of postures (asanas) synchronised with a calm and controlled breath (ujjayi)
There are six series all together, each with a fixed order of poses. Each of the series begins with Sun Salutations, followed by the standing sequence.
The focus of the middle section of asana’s varies depending on which series you are practicing.
All the series end with the finishing sequence.
Traditionally the poses are always practiced in a specific order.
Maintained correctly, Astanga yoga is a truly healing practice.
It will help you to feel calmer in your mind, it can help you be free of pain and will help detoxify your body as well as develop core strength.
As many men practise Astanga yoga as women.
