Ashtanga means "eight limbs" in Sanskrit, which refers to the eight limbs of yoga as described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

There is a strong connection to the essence of traditional yoga here.

Poses are referred to in Sanskrit, there is no music or deviance from style, and students are often interested in pranayama and yoga philosophy too.

Vinyasa stems from Ashtanga and includes many of these same poses.

They may be taught as a led series by a teacher which is more suited to beginners, or 'Mysore style' where students move through their own individual self-practice.
