ASHTANGA YOGA is a style of yoga founded and popularized by Shri. K. Pattabhi Jois and which is often promoted as a modern-day form of classical Indian yoga. Ashtanga literally means eight limbs. These branches support each other. Asana practice must be established for proper practice of Pranayama, and is a key to the development of the yamas and niyamas. Once these four externally oriented limbs are firmly rooted, the last four internally oriented limbs will spontaneously evolve over time.

The length of one inhale or one exhale dictates the length of time spent transitioning between asanas; these asanas are then held for a predefined number of breaths. The breath is the heart of this discipline, and links asana to asana in a precise order. The combination of the asanas with movement and breath make the blood circulate freely around all the joints, taking away body pains. When there is a lack of circulation, pain occurs. The result is a light strong body.
