YOGA

Firstly let me say something about Ashtanga Yoga in General, and then I’ll give my opinion that he is becoming one of the most popular Yoga disciplines worldwide.

What is Yoga?

As well as any other style, Ashtanga Yoga is a physical discipline that also includes mental and emotional benefits.

Is proven to have many physical benefits for your body, including the detoxification of the body, muscular and relieves pain and builds its flexibility and strength. Beyond just enhance your body physically it helps strengthen the nervous system, focus mentally and release the negative energy.

The other thing too different, you will notice the direct way, the carpet is used for practicing Ashtanga Yoga. Traditionally is made of cotton, and is very absorbent. Because Ashtanga is very oriented power yoga, he’ll probably make you sweat and you wouldn’t want to be using a rubber or PVC Mat that is very slippery when it gets wet.

Why Ashtanga Yoga is getting so popular?

Is very simple, I guess. We like things to be difficult, so it is worth doing them.

Most Yoga disciplines are flexibility, relaxation and breathing and most of them is not so difficult and can be practised by almost everyone. That is why most people think that they are boring.

But Ashtanga Yoga is different, even the easiest poses are very demanding on the body and require a great amount of energy. You have to be out in a good way to start with the poses. That is why it is also called Power Yoga.

So, if you are a person athletic and you’re looking for new ways to strengthen your body physically and mentally, try it, you will very probably like it.
