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.

If you’re working towards Mayurasana, this is an awesome prep! Blocks are so helpful in so many postures, especially these more challenging asanas!

a detail often overlooked - pressing the hands down firmly into the mat can really change your down dog. spread the fingers wide, hands about shoulder distance apart. alignment will improve throughout the body and you’ll be gaining strength!
