My personal daily practice is based in the Ashtanga Yoga tradition that dates back over 5000 years. Ashtanga literally means eight limbs and defined in the sacred yogic text of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. During the 20th century Ashtanga Yoga was codified, popularized, and globalized by the late master, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India.

Ashtanga yoga is intended to illuminate ones own divine nature through a cleansing of the physical body and purification of the mind and spirit. Its practical application is a dynamic flowing practice linking movement and breath. The system contains six series of challenging postures. Many practitioners spend their lifetime working on just the first and second series.
