These eight-limbs of yoga represent the various branches of the philosophy of the yoga sutras that form the foundation in the Ashtanga Yoga Schoo

The Ashtanga philosophy seeks to unify all of yoga's eight limbs, which include

Yama (moral codes), Niyama (self-discipline), Asana (posture), Pranayama (breath control), Pratyahara (sense withdrawal), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (oneness with the self).

Ujjayi pranayama: This specific breathing technique is used throughout the practice.

Drishti: Each asana has its own drishti, or focus point.

Vinyasa: The basis of the practise is syncing the breath with the series' postures and transitions.

Bandha: Throughout the class, bandhas, or body locks, are encouraged to seal in prana energy and develop core stability.

Daily practise: A six-day-a-week schedule is recommended, with Saturday serving as a rest day.

Ashtanga yoga has various advantages. It is considered to be tough, making it ideal for athletes and anyone seeking for a solid exercise.
