Description
Step onto the mat and experience Ashtanga yoga in its most authentic form. This class follows the traditional sequence as taught in Mysore, India, honoring the lineage of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.
Through a set series of postures, synchronized with deep, steady breathing (ujjayi pranayama), you will build strength, stamina, flexibility, and focus.
The practice emphasizes:
Vinyasa – breath-linked movement that creates heat and energy flow.
Bandhas – internal locks to channel and control prana (life force).
Drishti – focused gazing points to steady the mind.
By moving through the sequence with discipline and awareness, practitioners cultivate a moving meditation that balances body, mind, and spirit. This class is best suited for students seeking to explore the traditional roots of Ashtanga yoga and commit to a consistent, transformative practice.
