Ashtanga Yoga is a traditional, complete sequence of yoga postures and dynamic movements (vinyasas) formulated by Pattabhi Jois.

The practice creates internal heat in the body to aid purification. The sequence of ashtanga yoga is fairly physical and challenging, yet brings with it great rewards. The same sequence is taught every week in this session which allows you to move through each posture in a meditative state. It is also useful to have learned a practice for continuation at home. Although Ashtanga yoga is a challenging form of yoga we present it here with humour and care and offer some variations of certain postures if needed. The benefits of ashtanga yoga are full body cleansing, yoga for weight loss, a dynamic and more challenging form of yoga. Taught at Manchester Yoga Central, ashtanga yoga is true to its Indian and authentic, ancient roots.
