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.

Today Emma decided our class would be the “fail day” because it’s something adults (…sidenote, when did we become adults???) are usually extremely uncomfortable with. She had us ALL try this pose, coming into it from a low lunge and putting our weight in the opposite hand, then doing yogi toe hold and trying to swing our legs up. A lot of us just fell on our butts and started laughing, which she (and I!) loved! I couldn’t get this pose fully, the most I got was sort of a side-plank-tree with my yogi toe hold going on, but it was still a really fun class.

  7. penses said: It helps me to think of lifting up from my core instead of using my arms/shoulders to hold all of my weight. Once you find the lightness in this pose, it gets SO much easier!
