The
sage Vamana is thought to be the creator of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Its modern
version was developed by K. Pattabhi Jois. Ashtanga is popularly known as
Power Yoga since it emphasizes strength-building through aerobics, moving from
one asana to another rapidly. Power, stamina and concentration are enhanced
through these high energy exercises. Ashtanga is performed in a room with
raised temperature which helps practitioners sweat out toxins. Most popular with
athletes and people looking for a vigorous workout.
