Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga, practised in its correct sequential order, gradually leads the practitioner to rediscover his or her fullest potential on all levels of human consciousness physical, psychological, and spiritual. Through this practice of correct breathing (Ujjayi Pranayama), postures (asanas), and gazing point (driste), we gain control of the senses and a deep awareness of ourselves. By maintaining this discipline with regularity and devotion, one acquires steadiness of body and mind.

Children can start Ashtanga Yoga 10-12yrs. You have to understand Vinyasa, all these breathing techniques. That’s why at least you have to be 10-12yrs. Then you can understand when to inhale were to exhale. Before that, if someone just wants to play with Asana, don’t stop them. I started when I was 6-7yrs. I was doing all the Asanas, my Grandfather never stopped me.

In the spirit of feel good, do good, Nassera donates 50% of her profit to a small charity called Operation Shanti, near Mysore,. (see Charity tab for more information).
