Because ashtanga yoga is so challenging and designed to be practiced almost every day, yogis who take ashtanga yoga classes will find that they gain strength and flexibility relatively quickly. There is no part of the body that doesn’t get a work out!

Is ashtanga yoga for beginners?

Because ashtanga yoga is fast paced, structured, very physically demanding, and is not primarily focused on proper alignment but more on moving with your breath, we encourage beginners to be familiar with yoga basics and proper alignment before attempting ashtanga yoga.
