ASHTANGA YOGA POSES: Prasarita Padottanasan A, B, C & D YOGABODY Naturals founder, Lucas Rockwood demonstrates Ashtanga Yoga-style Prasarita Padottanasana. This yoga pose is one of the foundational standing poses in the Ashtanga Yoga series as taught by Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic practice where the breath and movements are synchronized to produce internal heat that purifies, strengthens, and opens up the body. Ashtanga Yoga has spread across the world and has inspired many modern styles of yoga such as "Power Yoga" or "Vinyasa Flow Yoga." ASHTNAGA YOGA PRIMARY SERIES The Ashtanga Primary Series, also called Yoga Chikitsa (therapy), is the first series new students are introduced to and often takes years to learn. It involves a series of standing yoga poses, flowing vinyasa movements that include upward facing dog pose, downward facing dog pose, and forward bends, and a floor series that finishes with inversions and restorative yoga poses. MORE ABOUT ASHTANGA YOGA PRACTICE It takes about 75 minutes to practice the entire Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga. Ashtanga Yoga also uses a specific breathing technique called Ujjayi Breathing where you make a whisper sound in the back of your throat during practice. Ujjayi breathing helps to build internal heat, focus the mind, and detoxify the body. DOUBLE YOUR FLEXIBILITY in 28 DAYS!
