Ashtanga Yoga, the eight-limbed path of yoga, is a classical system of yoga that provides vinyasa (breath-synchronized movement) and philosophical guidelines for practice on and off the mat. Ashtanga vinyasa made its way to the United States in the 1970’s and inspired many popular forms of modern yoga, such as Power Yoga and all flow-based practices. This monthly series will delve deeper into the philosophy of the eight limbs and the basics tenets of Ashtanga vinyasa, including asana, pranayama, bandha, and drishti. http://www.ashtangayoga.info/
