Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga Yoga is the name given to the system of yoga taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India. This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures--a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind. For more information on Ashtanga check out www.ashtanga.com
Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar Yoga focuses on the in-depth study of Asanas (postures) and Pranayama (breath control). In Iyengar, Asanas are held for considerable lengths of time in order to let the effects of the poses penetrate deeper within the individual. In addition, Iyengar allows for the use of different props, such as wooden blocks, chairs, blankets and belts that are used to help one adjust or support oneself in the different postures. The beauty of Iyengar is its emphasis on correct anatomical strength, and sensitivity in mind, body and spirit. For more information on Iyengar check out: www.iyengar-yoga.com
