Ashtanga Yoga
Astanga Yoga (Astanga Yoga) is a tradition passed down by Krishnamacha, who is revered as the father of modern hatha yoga. It was passed down in the early 20th century and was introduced to the West 40 years later. It has become one of the popular yoga systems worldwide, thanks to Krishnamacha's loyal and diligent disciple, Master Patabi Joyce. Patabi Joyce created and improved teaching based on his teacher Krishnamacha's teachings
The initial establishment of Astonga Yoga was to meet the needs of students. At that time, most students were young athletes, so the pose content was quite challenging and required a certain level of physical fitness to complete. Technically, there are techniques such as tandem posture, throat breathing, frontal constriction, perineal constriction, and gaze point.
Astonga Yoga is a rigorous practice. Astonga Yoga is divided into three levels: basic, intermediate, and advanced. The choreography of each level of movement is fixed and unchanging, starting with 5 sessions of Sun Prayer A and B, with a lot of positional exercises in between, and ending with inverted and resting techniques.
The purpose of this continuous exercise is to consume a large amount of heat to clean the body and eliminate toxins. Astonga yoga exercises the body's strength, flexibility, and endurance in a balanced manner. Many fitness enthusiasts in Europe and America are enthusiastic about this. In the West, this type of yoga is also known as \"strength yoga\". Nowadays, some yoga studios in China have opened Astonga yoga courses, which are popular among young people, but most of them are beginners.
Astonga yoga can improve the body's circulatory system, regulate the body and mind, and make people feel refreshed and refreshed. Practitioners can also achieve a balance between strength and flexibility, and improve cardiovascular function, making the body lighter, more agile, and stronger, achieving the effect of detoxifying the body. Compared to other forms of yoga, Astonga has a slightly higher intensity of exercise, and those with good physical fitness or years of yoga practice experience can give it a try, but beginners must be cautious.
