·Ashtanga translates as "eight limbs" (ashtau≈eight, anga≈limbs/stages) that provide steps through which practitioners can progress in order to reach a state of yoga. Vinyasa is a movement breathing system—breath movement synchronicity. The breath moves the body. It is a linking of asana to asana through the movement of the breath. With breath, core control and focus it evolves into a moving meditation. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is taught in a sequence, which is repeated every practice so what we learn in class tranfers very well into a home practice.
