asanas and doing pranayama, or breath control,
to increase the flow of prana through the nadis.
An Ashtanga yoga practitioner not only works on
asanas and pranayama but also the other six of
the eight limbs including yama, niyama,
pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and samadhi. Yama
means control and involves following rules of
honesty, purity and nonviolence.

9. Difference #5
Ashtanga yoga takes the practitioner through
eight steps, starting with social and self
discipline, and ending at meditation.
Hatha yoga is based mostly on poses (Asanas)
and Pranayama (breathing techniques).
