Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is an Ancient Science of practicing asanas. Discovered through Yoga Korunta, and taught by Sri Tirumala Krishnamachar to their students.
There are Vinyasas (specific Movements) in every asana, and The Movements are Synchronized with deep breathing.

“Trishtana”
There are three main aspects of the practice, Ujjayi (Deep and even sound Breathing), Drishti (Vision point) and Bandha (energy lock).

Breathing : Deep Ujjayi breathing is done during the practice, A soft sibilant sound is felt behind the throat, which also contributes to create Heat within the body and burns the toxins in the form of sweat. The breathing also helps us to withdraw our sense of hearing from any external distractions we may hear .

Drishti : The vision points. In each asana there are specific places we look at, for being centered and also to withdraw our sense of vision from any external distractions we may see.

Bandha : The Lock within the body, the practice of Mula bandha.

The proper synchronization of Bandha, Drishti along with breathing is held throughout the sequence. The practice of bandha has numerous effects on our subtle nervous system. brings an uplifting energy for the practitioner, which makes the body feel lighter, thus making the movements more smooth, safe and effective.
With proper guidance, Almost anyone can take this practice and reap the benefits coming from it. A regular practice presents the practitioner with a strong, light and healthy body.

A practitioner must remember to not to be proud of their abilty to perform asanas or be disappointed for being unable to do an Asana, because there is no Absolute truth in Asanas, what is possible today may not be possible later, and what is not possible today can be possible later. Change is the only constant in here including our own bodies, our main focus must be in realising that which never changes, our self.
