Ashtanga is the original power yoga. It is a systematic sequence of predetermined flowing postures linked together with the breath, but without music. If you like a strong power yoga or vinyasa class then you should find this challenging and rewarding. Ashtanga practice comprises four main parts:
•an “opening sequence,”
•one of the six main “series”
•a back-bending sequence
•set of inverted asanas, referred to as the “finishing sequence.”
•Practice always ends with savasana
