What is Ashtanga? 

Dating back thousands of years, Ashtanga yoga is a lineage that has been passed down through countless generations from teacher to student. Shri K. Pattabhi Jois was the founder of modern day Ashtanga yoga, while his grandson R. Sharath Jois continues to teach this time honored tradition. Ashtanga yoga is primarily used for the healing and purification of body and mind; A rigorous practice that is both challenging and cathartic. Using posture, breath, and gaze, Ashtanga yoga enables practitioners to center their focus and calm their mind; A moving meditation.
