Beirut New Year 2011 Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga workshop with Gemma

Ashtanga yoga is based on the Vinyasa practice of yoga and is a dynamic flow that relates one posture to another while also implying the adequacy of the breath to the movement. With constant practice the breath directs the movement and the time held in the postures.The difference betweent Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and the Hatha Yoga is the importance and concentration attached to the “passage” from a posture to another.
The viṅyāsa ‘ is a version of Sūrya namaskāra or the Sun Salutation.
