Ashtanga is a system of yoga transmitted to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois . This method of yoga involves synchronizing the pranayama (breath control) with a progressive series of asanas (postures) which create a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind. This class is bilingually instructed.
