Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga, which means eight limbs in Sanskrit, is a fast-paced, intense style of yoga practice. A set series of poses is performed, always in the same order. Ashtanga yoga is very physically demanding, because of the constant movement from one pose to the next, but students progress at their own pace. Ashtanga yoga was popularized by Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois.
