The word Ashtanga is combined of two Sanskrit words, “Ashta” and “Anga.” “Ashta” indicates to the number eight, while “Anga” means limb or body part. Therefore, Ashtanga is the conjunction of the eight limbs of yoga.

The Ashtanga Yoga is challenging it requires flexibility, strength, patience and humour. There are six series of Ashtanga Yoga which include primary, intermediate, advanced A, advanced B, advanced C, and advanced D.
