What is Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga?

​

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is one of the oldest and most dynamic styles of Hatha Yoga. The practice connects postures (asanas) through flowing movements into a continuous sequence that harmonizes body, breath, and mind.

At Ashtanga YOGAHOME we teach Ashtanga Yoga according to the teachings of T. Krishnamacharya, who is considered one of the most important pioneers of modern yoga.

The practice harmonizes breath, body, nervous system, and mind. Regular practice fosters vitality, inner peace, and mental clarity. Ashtanga Yoga strengthens and increases flexibility physically, while mentally and energetically it leads to deeper concentration, serenity, and self-confidence.

The main practice consists of fixed series of asanas, which are combined with yogic techniques such as the Vinyasa principle, Ujjayi breathing, Bandhas (muscular energy locks) and Drishti (gaze alignment).

In the Mysore style, the traditional teaching method of Ashtanga Yoga, you practice the series at your own pace, accompanied by individual support from the teachers. This creates a class that is both self-directed and personally guided.
Whether you are a beginner or already have experience: In our Mysore courses you will gradually develop a regular, personal practice that is tailored to your individual needs.

In yoga, we speak of "Prana," the life energy that flows through Nadis (energy channels) in the body – comparable to "Chi" in Chinese medicine. When these channels are clear, lightness, clarity, and inner balance arise.

In our Berlin studio, we offer a diverse program focusing on yoga for women – Ashtanga Yoga, prenatal and postnatal support, restorative yoga, Mysore, and guided classes. Our space is designed for peace, mindfulness, and regeneration.
With the classic Ashtanga practice, we promote strength, flexibility and concentration to reduce stress and support a healthy balance in everyday life.
