Ashtanga Comes to Corpus Christi

Two teachers from the Yoga Studio of Corpus Christi have been fortunate enough to complete a Teacher Training Intensive with David Swenson. Ashtanga Yoga Ashta= Eight, Anga= Limb, Yoga= Union. "The Eight Limbs of Yoga" The particular system of yoga that Jeff Van Cott and Michelle Acebo studied with David Swenson is derived from the teachings of K. Pattabhi Jois. He is the director and founder of the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India. He learned this dynamic method form of yoga from his teacher, Krishnamacharya. David Swenson studied directly with K. Pattabhi Jois. This approach is based on a specialized sequencing of postures and focused breathing techniques. Ashtanga may be utilized as a method of keeping physically fit or it may be traversed as a pathway to explore the subtle realms of spirituality.
