Different Styles: ASHTANGA YOGA

June 25th 2008 14:50
The word Ashtanga comes from the '8 limbs' of Yoga mentioned in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, which I have mentioned in a former section (Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi). However, the Yogic style labeled Ashtanga comes from Krishnamacarya and K. Pattabhi Jois' development of the Yoga Korunta, which explains a form of Hatha Yoga presented by Vamana Rishi. It is currently practiced, taught, and studied from its base at The Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in India. Classes are also available around the world following this style.

Both Asana forms used within the Ashtanga style of Yoga (Vinyasa & Tristhana) combine movement with breath. There are 6 stages of Asana for participants; these are covered by Yoga Chikitsa, Nadi Shodhana, & Sthira Bhaga. Focusing on inhaling and exhaling for the same duration, use of the Bandhas - mentioned in a former section at this site - and on breathing once per movement, makes the Asana/Pranayama combination different to other forms of Yoga. Another feature is that of Dristhi. This refers to one of nine focus points one concentrates upon whilst performing the Asanas

Different Styles: General

June 17th 2008 01:05
There are numerous forms of Yoga being practiced around the world today. Some have been handed down generation by generation, from teacher to pupil, originating in ancient Indian history. Yoga was first mentioned in the Vedas, some 2700 years ago, but was previously found 500 years prior to that in the form of stone seals portraying Yogic postures discovered in the Indus Valley. Other styles include those versions of Yoga especially adapted for the modern Western practitioner.

The majority of Yoga practices in the Western world follow the Hatha Yoga traditions, but it can be somewhat confusing when you first decide to practice - unless you have some friends already involved - as to which form of Yoga might be best for you. You may be more interested in finding the cheapest lessons, the most authentic Indian text, a genuine traditional and experienced teacher, just exercises, or the ultra modern Western woman DVD. There are not only different styles, schools, and formats to consider, but many variations within each
