The Active Series is a new and novel yoga series by Paramaguru Sharath Jois, first unveiled at the University of VirginiaÂ’s Center for Contemplative Sciences in November 2024. Drawing from his vast experience teaching and practicing Ashtanga Yoga over 34 years, and as the leading teacher in this field of yoga, Sharathji created the Active Series in order to bring the benefits of Ashtanga Yoga to everyone, regardless of their age or ability.
The Active Series can be practiced for 30 or 40 minutes daily. ItÂ’s ideal for those who want to adopt yoga into their daily life by practicing simple yoga postures and breathing in order to help maintain good health. It is designed to help everyone stay active and have a clear and calm mind. This series does not require one to be very flexible, so even those with limited flexibility can practice.
The Active Series is for people of any age, whether you have been active in the past or not. Too many people today—especially young people—are suffering from depression and other mental health issues. Including the Active Series in their daily schedule can help people keep their minds very fresh, relieve stress, and stay physically healthy, positive, and focused.
Ashtanga Yoga is an ideal way to keep us healthy both physically and mentally. But the traditional practice requires years of dedication to perfect. Often, people do not want to practice if they think that they will not reach a high level of perfection, but this new Active Series is not about attaining perfection; instead, it is about moving the body, breathing, and staying active and vibrant.
We hope the Active Series from Sharath Jois will encourage many people to take up a personal yoga practice.
