ASHTANGA TC

Ashtanga is a dynamic vinyasa yoga system originating in Mysore, India. Practitioners learn a sequence of postures and flow through movements linked with breath. Ashtanga Yoga builds strength and flexibility in the body, focus and concentration in the mind, and a deep and meaningful self-awareness. It can be practiced by all ages and body types.

Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga meets each practitioner where they are and adapts to individual needs. Learning this way allows everyone to create a safe and sustainable yoga practice within the framework of the Ashtanga system. You'll move at your own pace and work with your teacher to explore the approach and alignment that's best for your unique body, mind and energy as it flows through different seasons and stages of life. Yes, Ashtanga really is for everyone!

*Please note, the guided "Ashtanga Led Primary" class is NOT recommended for everyone; the pace and style of that class does not allow for the individualized instruction that makes Mysore Ashtanga accessible for all.

Learning Ashtanga Yoga requires a commitment to yourself and your practice, and a relationship with your teacher and community. As your practice and presence grows your teacher will support you in personalizing the details of the Ashtanga Yoga system to best serve your specific needs. Monthly membership allows you to come to practice in the studio as often as you like and supports the yoga shala in sharing authentic Ashtanga Yoga in your community. I recommend that beginners commit to 3 months of Mysore Ashtanga Yoga to begin to understand the method and see benefits before deciding if this practice and community is the right fit for you.

Drop-in Mysore classes are available only for practitioners with an existing Ashtanga Yoga practice. 

Drop-in Led Primary classes are available for everyone.

Beginners new to Mysore Ashtanga Yoga and out-of-town visitors may purchase a 1-week practice pass for $100

*Please be aware that a beneficial relationship with an Ashtanga Yoga teacher is created with time and consistency. When teacher and student share practice longterm, we come to understand your body and patterns and can skillfully navigate your physical, mental, emotional, and energetic experience in practice. While I welcome visitors to drop in and practice in our shala, and will be happy to offer you basic assistance/direction and a warm friendly space, I do not offer detailed advice on your practice, injuries, or new postures until we have established a relationship. If you want or need more support than a drop-in yoga class offers, please commit to the Mysore program or schedule a private session focused on your specific needs.

That depends on YOU. Many practitioners feel benefits after their very first practice. But one of the most powerful effects of Ashtanga Yoga might be realizing that the joy is in the journey, not the achievement of a specific result.
