Why is Ashtanga Yoga A Sporting Meditation? If you practice Ashtanga Yoga, you will find that the body is different every day. The Asanas that was done yesterday may not be able to do today. The Asanas that has not been done before can be done very easily today, but not necessarily tomorrow. When you have no expectations for your practice, there is no comparison with yesterday, no persistence, only pure breathing, only pure practicing, you focus, even the idea that "I want to concentrate" is not, it becomes meditation .
