Ashtanga Yoga (STRONG)

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is an exhilarating and flowing Yoga founded by Sri Pattabhi Jois.  A challenging and dynamic series of postures develops a light, strong body and a calm mind. It is our most gymnastic yoga style which “stokes the fires within”. This flowing Yoga style helps to detoxify muscles and organs.

As you become familiar with the sequence, the practice becomes an intense, moving meditation, building strength, balance, focus and ultimately relaxation.
