Created by K. Pattabhi Jois, Ashtanga yoga is considered a modern-day form of classical Indian yoga. Similar to Vinyasa, your movements and breath are intertwined. However, what set Ashtanga apart, is that the movements are all predetermined. There are four distinct phases, an opening phase, followed by one of six “series”, a back bending phase and finally an inversions phase. Also important to know is that Ashtanga has a level of series, for both beginners and more advanced practitioners. Ashtanga is a great type of yoga for people who enjoy a structured class that focuses on mastery of poses and the opportunity for progression to more advanced levels.
