Brought to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009), Ashtanga Yoga combines breath control (pranayama) and physical postures (asana) with sense withdrawal (pratyahara) and concentration (dharana). The result is a powerfully transformative experience that produces deep internal healing. By synchronizing movement to breath (vinyasa) through a dynamic series of postures an internal heat is created that purifies the body and restores its natural vitality. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mental state.
