What is it

Ashtanga Yoga is around 100 years old and means ‘Eight-limbed yoga’. The aim of it is to cleanse body and mind.
According to Wikipedia.org, Ashtanga Yoga “… aims to get rid of the six poisons that cover the light in the spiritual heart. This light is said to represent God. The six poisons are kama or desire, kridha or anger, moha or delusion, lobha or greed, matsarya or envy, and mada or sloth. Once these are vanquished over time through the diligent practice of Ashtanga yoga, the light will be uncovered and the yogi’s Universal Self will be revealed.”
This is one of the traditional styles of yoga that many other flow practiced forms come from, e.g. power yoga.
Ashtanga yoga consists of a series of movements that is performed so that it flows with your breath.
Some instructors vary the sequence of poses, but it is really one of the most popular yoga forms.
