ashtanga
ASHTANGA YOGA IS A METHOD OF YOGA CREATED BY PATTABHI JOIS. THIS STYLE IS STRUCTURED THROUGH A SERIES OF POSES. IT INVOLVES SYNCHRONIZING BREATH WITH MOVEMENT, A PROCESS CREATING INTERNAL HEAT PURIFYING BODY AND MIND. A LED CLASS IS COUNTED AND SPOKEN IN SANSKRIT, TO THE AVERAGE PERSON IT MAY SEEM INTIMIDATING AS A DANCE THAT SOMEHOW YOU WERE LEFT OUT OF THE CHOREOGRAPHY.
A TRADITIONAL LED CLASS WILL NOT BE CUED AS THE PRACTITIONER IS ALREADY CONFIDENT IN THE SEQUENCE AND CAN NAVIGATE SMOOTHLY. TRADITIONAL MYSORE METHOD IS THE WAY MOST PROGRESS THROUGH THE PRACTICE, THE STUDENT IS GIVEN ONE POSE AT A TIME. AS THEY COMPLETE THE POSTURE KNOWLEDGEABLY, THE STUDENT IS THEN GIVEN ANOTHER. IT ADDS THE ABILITY TO MEMORIZE AND REALLY ALLOW FOR THE FULL CONCEPT OF MOVING MEDITATION COME TO FRUITION.
