This is a very popular yoga practice. Indeed judging by the number of people in the class during the day, it is clear that many people love ashtanga. The teacher today is a very well known and respected Ashtanga teacher in the local yoga scene. She is the teacher of Ashtanga teachers.
What is Ashtanga Yoga? It is simply just a fixed set of sequences of yoga poses all connected by breath or vinyasa. This is a very simplistic description of Ashtanga yoga. It is definitely much more.
I like the class very much. Not because it is an ashtanga class but rather the teacher. She was very precise and she knows how to be strict and yet encouraging. Her instructions were very clear and she is able to explain to us which muscles to focus on for each pose. She is an excellent teacher!
I hope to go for more of her classes. She even teached Mysore which is a whopping 3 hrs long in the morning… if I can practice that everyday, I think I will lose all my fats!!
