the traditional practice of
Ashtanga Yoga
The classes we offer differ from most yoga studios, as we focus on developing a personal practice rather than group-led sessions.
Ashtanga yoga is accessible to everyone, with each student considered individually and taught at a pace suited to their unique needs. This traditional method is known as the Mysore style.
