Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga takes years to begin to learn and, while I realize I am still a babe in the limbs of Ashtanga, I do have some thoughts and insights that may help you decide if Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is the right method for training your mind, body and spirit. In 1998 I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, high weight and high cholesterol problems. I am in great health now. In seeking a new and more effective form of exercise I discovered Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and knew I had found my mythical home.
Some days are better than others.
Each day I try to maintain focus, keep a rhythm and visualize where I want my body to be. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a specific sort of Yoga where syncopated breath and vinyasa from asana to asana are used. The Ashtanga Vinyasa workout is challenging. You build strength. You become lithe.
