Tristana is the key to this spiritual side of yoga. Tristana is the name for the union of vinyasa, bandha and drishti. Only when this state is achieved, does the lotus blossom of ashtanga yoga unfold its petals. Ujjayi breathing is the foundation of vinyasa. The alignment of the body in asana is achieved through bandha. Dṛṣṭi completes the trio and builds the bridge, to carry the essence of your practise from the yoga mat into your daily life.
Tristhāna – The Lotus Blossom of Aṣṭāṅga Yoga
When movement and breath fuse together, the energy carries the body seemingly effortlessly and focus moves from the exterior to the interior, we reach Tristhāna. Or: through vinyasa, bandha and drishti we achieve the spiritual dimension in Aṣṭāṅga yoga practice.
