- Q. What is Yoga?
- A. It is an ancient science. For thousands of years, yoga has been used as a tool to open the mind and body and bring about personal transformation. Yoga is a psychophysical process and can be adapted to the needs of the individual.
- Q. What is Ashtanga Yoga?
- A. Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, as developed by Krishnamacharya and furthered by his student, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, is a form based on a sequence of dynamically performed asanas (physical movements or postures) aimed at building balanced physical strength and mental/spiritual stability. Ultimately each movement is coordinated with prescribed breathing and drishti (gaze points) that focus the eyes and instill a meditative concentration. Krishnamacharya standardized the pose sequences into three (now six) main series consisting of primary, intermediate and advanced asanas.
- Q. Who is Pattabhi Jois?
- A. Sri K. Pattabhi Jois is the founder of the Ashtanga Yoga Method. He is known for the sweetness of his smile, his unassuming nature, his limitless energy and his encyclopedic knowledge of Sanskrit traditions. At the age of 91, he is still teaching yoga from his home in Mysore, India with the aid of his grandson, Sharath and his daughter, Saraswati.
- Q. Where can I found out more about the Ashtanga Yoga Method?
- A. Visit the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute Website.
