About

Ashtanga Yoga is an ancient system of Yoga that was taught by Vamana Rishi in the Yoga Korunta. This text was imparted to Sri T. Krishnamacharya in the early 1900’s by his Guru Rama Mohan Brahmachari, and was later passed down to Pattabhi Jois during the duration of his studies with Krishnamacharya, beginning in 1927.
There is a beautiful science to the Ashtanga system, which this tumblr is meant to celebrate.

Ashtanga Yoga - (Eight Limb or Step Yoga)

reinventingurdhvadhanurasana:

“The eight limbs of yoga are: respect toward others, self-restraint, posture, breath control, detaching at will from the senses, concentration, meditation & contemplation….When harassed by doubt, cultivate the opposite mental attitude.” ~ Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, 11.29 - 11.33.
