Ashtanga Yoga developed by the late Pattabhi Jois, It is a highly structured style of yoga system, to unify body, mind, and spirit, Ashtanga yogi’s integrate all three components of the practice, including vinyasa, or movement linked with breath; bandhas, or energetic locks that direct the energy of the subtle body; and drishti, a one-pointed focus, which centers the mind. This system of practice ultimately leads to a cleansing of the body through heat, improves joint pain, carries impurities away from the body, and builds strength. If you’re looking to build strength and flexibility along with physical and mental endurance, consider trying Ashtanga yoga. However, since it is a very physically demanding sequence of poses, it may not be a great fit for yoga beginners.
