Ashtanga is a system of yoga originally transmitted by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore,. The system is now transmitted by his grandson, Sharath Jois. The Ashtanga system is designed to purify the body, promote proper functioning of the digestive system, build strength, and restore range of motion to the body. The method of practice taught in Ashtanga Yoga relies on linking postures with deep, even breathing and steady gazing with the eyes. The system of linking the breath with movement is known as vinyasa and encourages the blood to circulate properly allowing the removal of unwanted toxins. The gazing point helps to facilitate a state of meditation, having a profound effect on the steadiness of the mind.Ashtanga Yoga Columbus (AYC) is a studio and community space dedicated to sharing the transformative and healing practice of Ashtanga.
