The Vinyasa system works with the synchronization of deep, rhythmic breathing, the so-called Ujjayi breathing, and movement. It enables a continuous flow of energy that heats your body, enriches your blood with oxygen, massages and purifies your internal organs, refreshes your nervous system and removes toxins with your sweating. Burning off these toxins results in a strong body and a clear mind. The heat generated in the body remains not only a physical experience, but also represents the inner spiritual fire that clears the fog of illusions, deceptions and ignorance of our everyday life. As Pattabhi Jois put it; "Even iron has to bend to the heat".

Originally used as a loosening-up method for younger students who shouldn't get bored of the long positions to be held within the framework of the so-called "static yoga practice", Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is nevertheless a highly mental-spiritual and demanding physical practice "Primary Series", the "Intermediate Series" or even more ambitious series follow prescribed sequences. Through the incessantly practiced and thus automatically executed sequences, through the mindfulness for your inner being made possible as well as the inseparability of breathing and movement, the entire practice becomes a type of meditation - whether in a guided group or in the Mysore style (yoga practice in your own Speed under the presence of the teacher). By concentrating on your movements, your breathing, and your inward focus - concentrating on what is known as drishti - your mind is calmed. Once you internalize the sequence and understand your body, the Ashtanga Vinyasa practice will become a wonderful dance through the sequence.
