SYNERGY
"combined action or functioning."
"synergy." Dictionary.com Unabridged. Random House, Inc. 11 Apr. 2010. <Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/synergy>.
Synergy occurs when two entities come together and the result is greater than those two entities would be independent of each other. In yoga, the combination of asanas (postures), breathing techniques (pranayama) and focused concentration using the gaze (drishti) leads to a true synergy of mind, body and spirit.
Ashtanga is a dynamic, challenging form of yoga that synchronizes breathing with movement, incorporating vinyasa sequencing between postures to create a rhythmic, flowing practice. The synergy between breath and movement is an integral part of Ashtanga Yoga.
