Ashtanga Yoga. Ashtanga means “eight limbs” and encompasses a yogic lifestyle. Most people identify Ashtanga as traditional Indian yoga. Like Vinyasa yoga, the Ashtanga yoga asanas (postures) synchronize breath with movement as you move through a series of postures.

Arkady fuses elements of Ashtanga Vinyasa and Iyengar Tradition, combined with postures that allow a gradual approach to build strength and flexibility and release of accumulated tension. His unique teaching method unites a steady and joyful practice with deep meditation through flowing movement and breath synchronization.
