About Ashtanga Yoga
Through the practice of correct breathing (Ujjayi pranayama), postures (Asana) and gazing point (Drishti), we gain control of the senses and a deep awareness of ourselves as the body produces an intense internal heat and purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body and a calm mind.
