Yoga asana is the science and art of triggering the nervous system into a state of relaxation and wholeness.
The Ashtanga Primary Series is called Yoga Chikitsa, meaning yoga therapy because of the cleansing and toning effect it has on both body and mind.
This workshop will take a more extensive look at the traditional Hatha yoga asanas and how the Ashtanga yoga method creates a positive lasting effect on the organs, glands and nervous system.

The Style: |
| Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Background: |
The Sanskrit word Vinyasa means 'breath-synchronized movement', the popularity and spread of Vinyasa Yoga came from two (2) main influencial Guru`s of our past; Tirumalai Krishnamacharya and K. Pattabhi Jois.
Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (November 18, 1888 - February 28, 1989) was an Indian yoga teacher, ayurvedic healer and scholar.
Often referred to as "The Father of Modern Yoga," Krishnamacharya is widely regarded as one of the most influential yoga teachers of the 20th century and is credited with the revival of hatha yoga.
Pattabhi Jois began his yoga studies in 1927 at the age of 12 with Krishnamacharya, and by 1948 had established the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute for teaching the specific yoga practice known as Ashtanga Yoga. Ashtanga Yoga is named after the eight limbs of yoga mentioned in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
"Power yoga" and "vinyasa yoga" are generic terms that may refer to any type of vigorous yoga exercise derived from Ashtanga yoga.
