About Ashtanga-Vinyasa, Benefits, Rules, Breath, Drishti, Consistency, Tools11:37
Ashtanga-Vinyasa Yoga is a more vigorous faster paced Yoga style that is recommended for cardio endurance since we are conjugating the movements with the breath. It helps to improve overall strength, endurance and flexibility. This yoga style is recommended for those who are already familiar with Hatha Yoga and those who have been practicing Yoga for a while.
We begin Ashtanga-Vinyasa Practice with a gentle warm up and lubrication of the joints and then proceed with Sun Salutations A and B. After the sun salutations we hold each pose for at least 5 breaths using Ujjayi breath, also known as Ocean Breath, creating the hissing sound on the exhale. If this breath is uncomfortable for you, please breathe normally. Eventually you'll get used to this breath.
Please use Yoga blocks under your wrists and be careful if you have any shoulder issues because there are quite a few repetitive movements in this practice especially during the Sun Salutations.
Prepare some wall space for balance support and to help you get into inversions: headstand, forearm stand and/or a handstand. These inversions are optional. You can always lay down on the floor and lift your legs up the wall with the Yoga blocks under your hips instead.
Also Ashtanga-Vinyasa Yoga practice should be avoided by pregnant women because there are very deep twists that are not safe for the fetus.
I hope you enjoy Ashtanga-Vinyasa Yoga practice. Please share your experiences and observations about this practice. If you have any fitness questions please reach out.
