Ashtanga yoga

 “Anyone can practice. Young man can practice. Old man can practice. Very old man can practice. Man who is sick, he can practice. Man who doesn’t have strength can practice.
Except lazy people; lazy people can’t practice yoga.”

BENEFITS
The practice generates heat and circulation that strengthens, purifies and revitalizes the body’s muscles and inner organs, expelling unwanted toxins as well as releasing beneficial hormones and minerals.

When done with awareness, you will perceive a meditation-like state during practice.  Breathing through confronting postures, learning to accept your limits while creating more space by searching the limit. Body and mind will respond intelligently (and beautifully) leading you to experience more strength and flexibility in body and mind – on and off the mat.
Ashtanga Yoga serves to strengthen and detoxify the body and the mind.
