Ashtanga Yoga
Posted by leah on May 21, 2008
Ashtanga Yoga is a physically demanding yoga practice that builds strength, balance, and flexibility. Even the first steps of learning ashtanga, the sun salutation series, requires strength and flexibility. I found a website that shows all the poses in sequence. I would recommend taking a class to learn how to do the poses properly, but if you have some yoga experience and want a good strength building workout, do some sun salutations followed by standing poses or even the primary series. Sun salutations are a workout all on their own - I’ve been doing them without going into the rest of the series to build my strength back up post-partum, and it’s challenging! Link to Ashtanga site
