Aṣṭāṅgayoga as taught in this tradition is a complete system, which has been taught directly from guru to students through generations called paramparā.
The practice of āsana unites breath and movements termed vinyāsa where we through the breath, postures, āsana, and focal points, dṛṣṭi, create the foundation for calm introspection being in the present moment.
The āsana practice consists of 6 fixed sequences of postures which with dedication and regularity makes it possible to internalize our efforts into awareness, flexibility and strength of body and mind.
