  2. The Mysore-Chidananda Tradition The Mysore-Chidananda tradition of Ashtanga yoga is based on the teachings of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and his grandson, Sharath Jois. It emphasizes a personal practice, guided by a teacher, allowing students to progress at their own pace. Early Years 1 Sri K. Pattabhi Jois learned the practice from his guru, Sri T. Krishnamacharya, in the early 20th century. Mysore Style 2 The Mysore style involves self-practice in a dedicated space with guidance from an experienced teacher. Worldwide Expansion 3 Ashtanga yoga has gained global recognition and popularity, with studios and practitioners worldwide.

These limbs provide a comprehensive path to liberation and well-being. Yama (Ethical Restraints) Niyama (Ethical Observances) 1 2 These include principles like non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, and non-attachment. These include practices such as cleanliness, contentment, and self-study.

These breathing techniques help to calm the mind and increase energy levels.
