– agitated (kṣipta)

– distracted (kṣipta)
– focalised (ekāgra)

The glossary is alive: 400+ concepts to discover, from breath to philosophy.
At the Ashtanga Yoga Institute, these words don't stay on the page: they are lived, breath after breath. We have been transmitting traditional Ashtanga in Brussels for over fifty years, in the lineage of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois — each posture adjusted individually, even in a group class. Here, you don't read yoga: you practise it, guided.
