A firm posture is very helpful and needful for the practice, A firm posture is to be able to sit in a posture where the spine is erect for long periods without any pressure where the practitioner can forget the state of body to dive deeper inside to explore and experience the self. To be able to sit straight comfortably is possible only for a healthy body, which is why we practice different other Asanas to make the body healthier.
Yoga Saadhana, is the means that we accept to attain something. Ashtanga Saadhana means, using its steps as a practice to experience the calmness of mind & body
Ashtanga vinyasa Yoga
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga .Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is an Ancient Science of practicing asanas. Discovered through Yoga Korunta, and taught by Sri Tirumala Krishnamachar to their students. There are Vinyasas (specific Movements) in every asana, and The Movements are Synchronized with deep breathing. “Trishtana” There are three main aspects of the practice, Ujjayi (Deep and even sound Breathing), Drishti (Vision point) and Bandha (energy lock). Breathing : Deep Ujjayi breathing is done during the practice, A soft sibilant sound is felt behind the throat, which also contributes to create Heat within the body and burns the toxins in the form of sweat. The breathing also helps us to withdraw our sense of hearing from any external distractions we may hear . Drishti : The vision points. In each asana there are specific places we look at, for being centered and also to withdraw our sense of vision from any external distractions we may see. Bandha : The Lock within the body, the practice of Mula bandha. The proper synchronization of Bandha, Drishti along with breathing is held throughout the sequence. The practice of bandha has numerous effects on our subtle nervous system. brings an uplifting energy for the practitioner, which makes the body feel lighter, thus making the movements more smooth, safe and effective. With proper guidance, Almost anyone can take this practice and reap the benefits coming from it. A regular practice presents the practitioner with a strong, light and healthy body. A practitioner must remember to not to be proud of their abilty to perform asanas or be disappointed for being unable to do an Asana, because there is no Absolute truth in Asanas, what is possible today may not be possible later, and what is not possible today can be possible later. Change is the only constant in here including our own bodies, our main focus must be in realising that which never changes, our self.

Information for practitioners
Practice on Empty stomach, When early morning practice is not accessible, it is necessary to feel empty in the stomach to practice during other times of the day. Do not drink water, during, 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after practice. Make sure you are well Hydrated throughout the day.
If you have any serious Health problems that may adversely affect from practicing Asanas, please follow your doctor’s advice. Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga practice is not suitable for people having serious blood pressure problems.
For female practitioners, its advised to not practice during the period of Menstruation, if anyhow, still have to practice, avoid inversions, deep twists, and any asana which challenges physical abilities.
In Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga system, each asana is a stepping stone for the next asana.If a practitioner skips through the asanas without being able to practice properly (with proper alignment) just to finish the sequence, they can easily meet with injuries, especially because they will not have the awareness of their body (about when to stop extending their boundaries of flexibility) which only comes with regular “proper” practice. Sometimes a Teacher stops the practitioner in an Asana (for example, in primary series Marichyasana D) and asks them to practice the same until they can practice that asana in proper alignment with ease before proceeding to new asana. It is because the teacher cares for the student’s well-being, and does not want them to get hurt.When a practitioner is injured, It reverses their progress, and it obviously creates a negative feeling In them and also in their friends as “Yoga is Dangerous”.
During the practice develop a habit to listen to the body, Listening means to be aware of different sensations that an asana/vinyasa is producing, adjust the body accordingly.
