After this journey you can

  • explain why Aṣṭāṅga Yoga is described as breath-led moving meditation.
  • join sun salutation and Basic Form in simple variations.
  • recognise ujjāyī, vinyāsa and tristhāna as orientation in practice.
  • choose a suitable next beginner practice for yourself.

Your learning path

You begin with orientation rather than self-analysis. Then short article quizzes, very accessible videos and small noticing tasks alternate. This lets you get to know Aṣṭāṅga Yoga without needing prior practice.

Place Aṣṭāṅga Yoga

→ Place Aṣṭāṅga Yoga Active approx. 15 minutes
