Ashtanga yoga is a rigorous and complete yoga practice system, passed down by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois from his teacher Krishnamacharya and spread worldwide. This system centres on fixed sequences of postures, with practitioners integrating three key elements — Ujjayi breathing, Bandha (energy locks), and Drishti (gaze points) — to cultivate deep focus and awareness through dynamic flow.

Ashtanga yoga practice not only builds a strong physique — improving strength, flexibility, and endurance — but more importantly, it tempers the mind. Facing the same sequence each day, you discover that the real challenge lies not in the postures themselves but in how to maintain patience, accept the present state, and find new layers within repetition. This is exactly why Ashtanga is called "moving meditation."
