Ashtanga Yoga Half Primary Series is the most commonly serie of Yoga postures taught in the world.
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, often referred to as “Ashtanga Yoga”, is a dynamic yoga practice that is particularly popular with young people and athletes.
From my first session, I loved this practice which is intense, deep and effective
Ashtanga Yoga Half Primary Series – Origins
Pattabhi Jois was the disciple of T. Krishnamacharya (1888-1989) who, for the record, also trained BKS Iyengar (the founder of Iyengar Yoga).
For me the Half Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga is the best Yoga session to practise.
Ashtanga Yoga – Benefits
If Ashtanga Yoga is practiced so much today, it is because the benefits are quickly apparent, regardless of the level of practice. The Half Primary Series Ashtanga Yoga gave me the following benefits :
- GAIN ENERGY. That is to say that with a regular practice, I feel naturally more in shape, more dynamic
- GAIN FLEXIBILITY more quickly than any other yoga practice.
- BETTER BALANCE both physical and mental
- KEEP A STRAIGHT BACK. I noticed that naturally I have a more open chest and a straighter spine. In short, it allows me to stand up straight even without paying attention.
- FAST PROGESS. On the other hand I noticed that I progressed faster in the other sports I practice, like surfing or swimming. It’s as if listening to the body allows the muscles to bend better.
This is all the benefits I found in that pratice, and I encourage you to start practising to discover your own benefits from Yoga Ahtanga Half Primary Series.
Ashtanga Yoga – Fun Stories
The benefits of yoga can differ from person to person. Here are two examples of teachers who trained with me:
- the first one told me that Ashtanga Yoga was the only one that allowed her to channel her energy. And that it had been very useful to her in her job as a business lawyer where the pressure was very high
- the second one told me that 1 month of Ashtanga Yoga gave her more benefits than 3 years of Iyengar practice: she gained flexibility, strength and energy. She was fascinated!

Pratice Ashtanga Yoga in a class
This is the best way to have the proper teaching and alignement. I highly recommand to start ashtanga yoga half primary series with a teacher who was well trained.
Ashtanga Yoga is a very intense pratice. Too ambitious students unfortunately harm themselves with inapropriate asanas for their level.
A suitable teacher will help you to progress at the right pace, on the right path.
