Ashtanga

Ashtanga Yoga literally means “eight limbs of yoga.” These limbs are defined in the the second chapter of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and comprise the foundation of Ashtanga Yoga Philosophy.

Asana is the 3rd limb of the 8 limbs, however today, when many people say “Ashtanga” they are often simply referring to Asana, which is the physical sequence of postures as taught by Sri. K Pattabhi Jois.

At Thanyapura, Asthanga Yoga is taught by Dr Gupta, who is an expert in Asthanga & Therapeutic Yoga.

Asthanga yoga class is a mix of breathing practices, loosening practices, postures and pranayama. The combination of breath control and postures together brings a lot of benefits to the body like increased flexibility, muscle strength, improve posture, increase blood flow, drain toxins and boost immunity.
