"Ashtanga yoga is a philosophy of life, an attitude towards life, a journey whose goal is to find oneself. The Sanskrit word 'yoga' means 'to unite,' referring to the connection of body, mind, and soul. 'Ashtanga' means eight-limbed path. One of these limbs is the physical exercises (asanas). These exercises are connected through dynamic movement elements (vinyasa). The foundation of the entire system is a special, deep breathing technique (ujjayi breathing) - each asana is guided by the breath. Certain muscle locks (bandhas) are also held to strengthen our core and facilitate our balance. Drishti points keep us focused. Through the dynamics of yoga, we achieve an optimal heating of the body, which helps us to stretch and cleanse it. At the same time, we practice bringing body, mind, and soul back into balance through concentration, meditation, and even breathing. In addition to practicing physical positions, yoga also includes behaviors such as non-violence, mindfulness towards oneself and others, love of truth, self-discipline, breathing exercises, and meditation... Ashtanga yoga, like many other forms of yoga, has its origins in India. This ancient form of yoga was recorded by the Indian sage Patanjali and has been popularized since the 1930s by the father of Ashtanga yoga, Pattabhi Jois, in Mysore. In fact, Ashtanga yoga is suitable for anyone who feels drawn to its teachings. In its final form, Ashtanga yoga is a very dynamic and powerful form of yoga. However, the level of dynamism should be adjusted to individual needs." - Margit Brandstetter Prices available at https://www.yoga-surya.at/preise/.
