Krishnamacharya and is now practiced by thousands of people around the world. Traditionally in Ashtanga, there are three main sequences of postures: Primary (Yoga Chikitsa), Intermediate (Nadi Sodhana), and Advanced Series (Sthira Bhaga). The traditional system of Ashtanga is based on Patanjali's philosophy of \"eight limbs\" of yoga. Students practice a sequence of poses linked with Vinyasa (breath movement) using Ujjayi Pranayama (deep rhythmic breathing), Bandha (muscular and energetic locks), and Drishti (meditative gaze points).\u003cbr\u003e This system has often been misunderstood in the west as it has been taught as a powerful form of exercise with little emphasis on the therapeutic benefits. Finally, two of the world's leading Ashtanga teachers team up to demystify the practice and its teachings, bringing to light the role of yoga in long-term health, the benefits of each pose as well as illustrating safe adjustments for poses in each series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Manju Jois, Greg Tebb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1773660527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773660523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Acorn Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.14w x 0.71d","brand":"Manju Jois","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051691012351,"sku":"9781773660523","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8cde51c0-5664-40bd-9cac-99fe5b4fe047.jpg?v=1685014600","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ashtanga-yoga-manju-jois-9781773660523","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
