Ashtanga Yoga Demonstration, The Primary Series with Partial Second Series in Naples, FL

Ashtanga Yoga Demonstration, The Primary Series, Naples, FL

Ashtanga yoga is a method of yoga practice with eight limbs, or disciplines, of study. This yoga demo done in Naples, Florida shows the asanas, or postures, in the primary and beginning of the second series of Ashtanga. Ashtanga asanas link movement with breath, which is called vinyasa yoga. The Ashtanga yoga primary series is a defined series of postures that is practiced over and over again until the different parts of the body become more agile and flexible.

Here, Derek Hopkins presents the postures with a commentary on practice for students of all ages and backgrounds. While some consider Ashtanga Yoga to be the hardest yoga, it is a student’s approach that makes a method accessible or difficult.
