How is Ashtanga Yoga different?
In Ashtanga Yoga, asana are practiced in a specific, predetermined order. An Ashtanga student moves from asana to asana in a choreographed sequence of movement and breath called vinyasa. The postures in this method of yoga are taught in progressively more difficult groups that continually challenge the mind and body. Teachers work very closely with students, giving verbal instructions and coaxing students through difficult postures with hands-on assistance when needed.
