Everything is constantly changing. There are different ways to steer the flow of change in a direction that best fits the individual. One such method is Ashtanga Yoga. 

Ashtanga is a very dynamic form of Yoga, in contrast to other Yoga styles. Dynamism means movement. Movement always means that some form of power is used. In doing so, the body warms up very quickly and allows us to go deeper into the positions and perceive them with greater intensity. This releases more energy in less time, making it possible to hold poses for a shorter period of time and thus a larger number of poses can be done within a sequence.

Due to the numerous poses, we can reach almost every corner of the body, which leads to a free and unobstructed flow of energy – a wonderful feeling.
Another enticing aspect of Ashtanga Yoga is the fixed sequence of poses. After all, it is only through constant repetition that we can deepen and refine our practice. Through the external routine, in which we combine breath and movement, our attention is directed inwards. The breath becomes the connecting link between outside and inside. Meditation in motion can be experienced. This form of practising Yoga is suitable as an excellent tool for leading a conscious life off the mat.

In general terms, Yoga means unity. Practising Yoga initiates a change that forges an inner ambience that enables us to recognize the state of unity. The more connected we feel, the more beautiful, richer, more joyful, more ecstatic – the more fulfilled – our lives are.

When teaching a Yoga class, I work on the aspects described here together with my practising students.
We align the body, breathing becomes freer, energy can flow and by regularly exceeding our comfort zones, we create ourselves anew. The learning experience is made all the more intensive by the energy of the group.
