Ashtanga Yoga is a moving meditation where breath and posture are linked in a set sequence of poses. Over time, this practice builds strength, flexibility, and balance while gently clearing the layers that hold us back from our fullest potential.
Rooted in the lineage of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India, Ashtanga offers both structure and freedom, guiding students through a system that evolves with continuous practice. For this reason, students are encouraged to practice at least twice a week.
Most classes are taught in the Mysore style: a unique, teacher-assisted format where students move at their own pace. Each person receives individual guidance and hands-on support, while still practicing alongside others in a shared space. This blend of personal attention and community energy makes the practice accessible for beginners and continually engaging for more experienced students.
"In yoga, you'll often find two people next to each other on their mats. One in handstand, backbending with their feet on their head. Next to them, one in forward bend who can't yet touch their feet. They are both in exactly the same place. At their limit. With all these years of yoga, some days this limit feels good and some days it doesn't. Sometimes I suffer, and sometimes I don't. Yoga teaches me to live in the moment and accept that, in yoga and in life, I suffer, I am the cause of my suffering, I don't have to suffer, and we are enlightened."Richard Sigmund (1951 - 2022), artist and Ashtanga practitioner
