Ashtanga Yoga (often also called Power Yoga) is an aerobic, muscle-shaping, mind-sculpting, physically demanding workout. Students move through a series of flows, moving from one posture to another to build strength, flexibility, and stamina. Ashtanga often appeals to athletes and those who enjoy high-energy exercise. This dynamic form uses a combination of movement and postures synchronized with breath. The practice generates heat for eliminating toxins and revitalization. Ashtanga is more about energy than creating the perfect shape. Be prepared to sweat.
