Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic form of hatha yoga with postures flowing one into the other in a moving meditation, with the student's eventual aim being to reach a point of practice that emphasizes tristhana, the three points of attention, the asana, the breath and the drishti, or looking place. These three elements affect the three levels of purification; of the body, the nervous system and the mind.
