Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga

Ashtanga, or sometimes spelled Astanga Yoga is actually taught today by a man named Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, in Mysore, India.  He has brought ashtanga yoga to the west about 25 years ago and still teaches today at 91 years of age.  Ashtanga yoga began with the rediscovery of the ancient manuscript Yoga Korunta.  It describes a unique system of Hatha yoga as practiced and created by the ancient sage Vamana Rishi.  It is believed to be the original asana practiced intended by Patanjali. The benefits of this form of yoga include weight loss and a stronger body.

Ashtanga yoga literally means "eight-limbed yoga," as outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. According to Patanjali, the path of internal purification for revelation of the spirit consists of the following eight spiritual practices: Yama [moral codes] Niyama [self-purification and study] Asana [posture] Pranayama [breath control] Pratyahara [sense control] Dharana [concentration] Dhyana [meditation] Samadhi [absorption into the Universal]

The Yoga Korunta emphasizes vinyasa, or breath-synchronized movement, where one practices a posture with specific breathing patterns associated with it.  This breathing technique is called ujayyi pranayama, or the victorious breath, and it is a process that produces extreme internal heat and profuse sweating which purifies and detoxifies muscles and organs in your body.  This also releases beneficial hormones and nutrients, and is usually massaged back into the body.  The breath ensures efficient circulation of blood.  The result is improved circulation, weight loss, a stronger body and a calm mind.

There is a recommended sequence to follow when practicing Ashtanga yoga.  The follower must graduate from one sequence of postures in order to move onto the next.  The Primary Series (Yoga Chikitsa) detoxifies and aligns the body, purifying it so that toxins do not block. The Intermediate Series (Nadi Shodhana) purifies the nervous system by opening and clearing the energy channels, allowing energy to pass through easily. The Advanced Series A, B, C, and D (Sthira Bhaga) integrate the grace and stamina of the practice, which calls for intense flexibility.

It is best to find a trained and knowledgeable teacher to assist you through this discipline.  It is an intense practice that is rigorous, six days a week. You are guaranteed to lose weight, find inner peace and fulfillment with each breath you take.
