Incorporate Ashtanga Yoga into your lifestyle as a discipline that helps you be healthier on a day-to-day basis and find your own space, balance, inner peace, and self-fulfillment.
Ashtanga Yoga is a style of Yoga as exercise created by K. Pattabhi Jois during the 20th century, often promoted as a modern-day form of classical Indian yoga. The style is energetic, synchronizing breath with movements. The individual poses (asanas) are linked by flowing movements (vinyasas), which is a breathing-moving-system.
Ashtanga Yoga translates literally as “eight-limbed yoga” and refers to the eight limbs outlined by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, which include moral and ethical guidelines such as attitudes toward our environment and towards ourselves, physical postures, breath and sense control, concentration, and meditation.

In principle, every style of Yoga is beneficial. However, Ashtanga brings not only all the benefits such as strength, flexibility, stress management and inner peace as the other kinds of Yoga do but it also gets you energized even if you feel tired.
Your entire body will work hard in this practice. Ashtanga instructors guide practitioners through each pose, with the eventual goal being that you can move through at your own pace.
It involves syncing your breath with a progressive series of postures, resulting in improved circulation, a light and strong body and a calm mind.
The essence of Ashtanga Yoga is that through the practice of postures, breathing, and focal points, you can gain a direct experience of your inner self. While it might sound boring to perform the same postures repeatedly in Ashtanga Yoga, this repetition is what exactly helps you tap into your inner being. Besides what it has been mentioned before, the beauty of Ashtanga Yoga also comes as practitioners can perform by themselves at their own pace and at home, if the situation does not make it always possible to practice with an instructor leading them. Nevertheless, remember that it is absolutely vital to look for the guidance of a qualified teacher to avoid any possible injuries.
Nowadays, we live in a very competitive world, where everyone wants to be in the best shape and have an astonishing stamina. It is sad to say that lately Yoga has been sold as the utter coolest, trendiest and healthiest discipline to do in order to look good on the outside.
Nevertheless, this perception does have nothing to do with being healthy at all. Yoga has become so fashioned that some people with different backgrounds, picture themselves in the most acrobatic positions without being yogi experts or taught in the ancient discipline of yoga. Those people are trained since child in other areas and have the body requirements to do those positions for the Instagram pic, but that’s not necessarily what yoga must or should transmit. Each person is different in shape, bones and conditions and do not have the same patterns; you cannot expect excellent results without getting harmed by having the same training/practice as someone who has been doing a different training or even yoga for life. It might even be that your body is not meant to go into that specific position, which is totally fine!!!
I can speak for myself and for many other yogis that I know I felt the same way. For many years I was not told how to approach properly each sequence and instead of following the spiritual path, where it brings you a quite mind, a stable and comfort position and gradually equanimity; at the end I felt more stressed, tired, and desperate. This is exactly the opposite of what Yoga represents in life! Yoga in general is a discipline/practice with the aim for mental strength, physical health, and spiritual development.
Hence, my plan with you is to show you from scratch how to get slowly and correct into the right positions by breaking down each posture and getting step by step into the requested “asanas” using the proper movements and activating the correct muscles.
Mysore is a special way of teaching yoga. A Mysore class is aimed to teach each one individual and targeted on its inner needs. Each person does its practice individually on its own level and pace while I (the teacher) support and adjust you. You will learn to have a healthy consistency in your practice with time and patience on your own rhythm. This particular style is optimal for all levels who want to embrace this type of yoga and have a consistence and a healthy development in their practice.
This is a chronological order of all the primary serie in the Asthanga Yoga, where the teacher counts each position on its traditional way in Sanskrit at a specific tempo. In this class, all the practitioners follow the teachers counting and do all together the same position while synchronising it with the proper breath and movement. This class is optimal for all; new comers, intermediate and advance level!
During the Asthanga Yoga practice the practitioner will get some adjustments (bodily corrections). These adjustments are mainly done in order to create a muscle memory and to promote mobility in the body and to do the correct position accordingly in order to have the requested benefits. Furthermore, adjustments and corrections need to be done to avoid harming yourself.
