What are the main exercises of Eight Branches Yoga?
Ashtanga yoga mainly focuses on high-intensity exercises of arm balance and back bending.

Ashtanga Yoga was founded by Krishnamaka, the father of modern hatha yoga. Because most of the students at that time were young athletes, it was a difficult yoga pose created according to the students' own physical quality and conditions. In fact, Ashtanga yoga can also be understood as a rigorous training mode, which is divided into three levels: basic level, intermediate level and advanced level.

Each level of posture is fixed, starting with prayer, ending with handstand or rest, interspersed with continuous movement exercises, so as to achieve the purpose of burning a lot of fat, sweating, discharging body waste and cleaning the body.
