Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic style of yoga that emphasizes a specific sequence of postures, known as asanas, linked with breath control, or ujjayi breath. It was popularized by K. Pattabhi Jois in the 20th century and is characterized by its structured approach, where practitioners progress through a series of six series, each increasing in difficulty. The practice is typically performed in a heated room, promoting flexibility and detoxification. Ashtanga Yoga encourages a strong focus on the breath and movement, fostering a meditative state. This method not only enhances physical strength and endurance but also cultivates mental discipline and concentration.
