Ashtanga Yoga at AmankoraSomewhere between the extremes of effort and surrender lies the harmonious equilibrium called yoga. The Ashtanga practice aids the experience of this dynamic balance of opposites and gently forces the practitioner to learn to breathe deeply, in preparation of the body for meditation. Amankora will be offering Ashtanga yoga classes till mid December 2008. Private instruction is also available by appointment. To book a session, please contact amankora@amanresorts.com.
