Yoga practices remain one of humanityâs enduring quests to find meaning and uncover the mystery behind appearances. The practice of yoga is a process of self-discovery and transformation. Sincere application of Yoga provides the opportunity for personal transformation by gradually dissolving the physical, mental and emotional ‘impediments’ that restrict our life potential. In a city of Southern India, there was a remarkable Yogi involved in the practice and teaching of a unique, intricate and assiduously applied method of Hatha Yoga for well over 60 years. His name was Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. What he taught became known the world over as AᚣhášÄáš ga VinyÄsa Yoga. This AᚣhášÄáš ga VinyÄsa method of sequencing yoga-Äsana with the VinyÄsa connecting movements was once advised and outlined by an Indian sage – Vamana Rishi.
AᚣhášÄáš ga VinyÄsa Yoga is renowned for its very detailed, breath focussed and directed sequencing of yoga-Äsana. Through this method, each Äsana unfolds into another, linked by âvinyÄsaâ (the synchronised movement-breathing system) in a continuous cycle, involving the application of specific muscular activations (bandha-s), gaze points (dášiᚣháši-s) and the soothing, ujjayi breath. These posture sequences are energetic and challenging, cleansing the body, quieting the mind and releasing your inner potential.
