Yoga Practice with elements of Ashtanga

Ashtanga Yoga is an ancient system that focuses on the proper implementation of asanas with emphasis on awarness. It literally translates as eight limbs described in the Sutras of Patanjali as the path for purification consisting of eight spiritual practices.

Ashtanga yoga class is a practice suitable for athletic, dynamic people. The asanas are arranged in a logical sequence, connected with vinyasa.

Vinyasa is a term in hatha Yoga, which defines a practice involving a smooth, dance-like overflow of asanas from one to another. The word "vinyasa" consists of two parts - "vi" and "nyasa", respectivelly meaning division or breakdown, and shifting or placement.
"Vinyasa" means destroying or separating and re-setting back into a certain order. This is a systematization method and a way of arranging the asanas into a sequence."
