Astanga yoga is a challenging form of yoga. It is a series of yoga postures always in the same order, and done steadily to the rhythm of one's breath. Your teacher will move you through these series at a pace suitable for you, and will assist you with new poses and those you find difficult.
Each pose is linked to the next through a series of connecting movements called Vinyasa. Smooth, deep breathing (ujjayi), gaze (drishti) and locks (bandha's) are synchronized with the movements. This powerful and vigorous practice purifies and realigns the body, cultivating a feeling of inner peace, and leading to a natural state of meditation
Astanga Yoga class is at normal room temperature.
