Ashtanga Yoga<\/a> is a counted system in which each breath and coordinated movement are carefully tracked. This count results from vinyasa (coordinated breathing\/movement) <\/span>of each posture (asana) – each posture is associated with an ideal number of inhalations and exhalations to enter and exit the posture. Traditionally, these vinyasa are counted in Sanskrit.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do you have to count?<\/span><\/h1>\n

There are a few good reasons why counting helps the practice of Ashtanga yoga:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n
      \n
    • It is a valuable tool for correctly learning<\/strong> the sequence of movements;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • This helps keep the pace going<\/strong>;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • This encourages the mind to maintain focus<\/strong>and helps us stay focused;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • This allows you to determine where you stand<\/strong> in practice;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • As we pronounce the count in Sanskrit, It brings you back to the original essence<\/strong> of yoga.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      <\/span><\/p>\n

      Here is a counting table that will help you in your practice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
