Additionally, the principal actions of Bandhas (locks or energy seals), Drishti (the gaze or looking place in each posture) and Ujjayi Pranayama (a sound induced breath applied to both the inhaling and exhaling breath) are emphasized in the Ashtanga Vinyasa method of Asana practice. This method of Asana practice, enables hundreds of Asanas to be integrated into the body of every practitioner.
