Ashtanga Yoga FAQs
How does ashtanga differ from vinyasa or power yoga practice?
This is the traditional form that other styles of flow practice derive from. It's taught as a specific system with the poses in a certain sequential order. If you're working on one of the six series of the ashtanga system, the sequences are the same whether you're doing it here or New York City or Mysore, India. Ashtanga and its vinyasa yoga derivatives are challenging practices focusing on the breath (ujjayi pranayama) coordinated with movement that leads toward meditation. The vinyasa approach to linking the poses together that is popular in power yoga and vinyasa flow styles was borrowed from the ashtanga system.
