ASHTANGA YOGA
A unique combination of dynamic breathing and strong, flowing movement, which creates a high heat, high energy workout. Ashtanga Yoga is a choreographed sequence of postures which flow into one another, building strength, unwinding tight joints, and loosening muscles. Ashtanga yoga is a complete mind and body workout that develops concentration and reduces stress.

THE METHOD
A refinement of the results of millennia of profound action by yogis in India, is designed to systematically clear blockages, build strength and tune undeveloped areas in the physical body; over time, this kinesthetic work practiced in the body begins to replicate itself at the level of mind, clearing blockages, building strength, tuning. Regular practice sustained over time is absolutely necessary to achieve these goals, and to overcome stumbling blocks encountered along the way, yet the system is so potent that practitioners feel changes after a single practice.
