Ashtanga is a classical style of Hatha yoga
which utilizes breath, movement, and posture as a means for meditation
and personal growth. Our school offers traditional Self-Practice
(Mysore Style), Counted Vinyasa (Led Style), and Technique classes.
Beginners may join anytime.
Our instructors have years of experience working with a wide
range of students from raw beginners to advanced levels. We cultivate
a warm and friendly environment to help you develop a personal
yoga practice. The school is directed by Adarsh Williams who
is authorized to teach Ashtanga by his Guru Shri K Pattabhi Jois.
If you are completely new to yoga or Ashtanga,
our Mysore
program is a great way to start. The learning here will
be progressive —the practice will be challenging, but not overwhelming.
Your first lesson will include the Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar)
which establish the basic form and flow of the greater series
of postures. This first class will conclude with a brief finishing
sequence and deep relaxation.
Over time, you will be exposed to more of the series of standing,
seated, inverted, and back bending postures as well as yoga breathing
(pranayama), energetic bonds (bandhas), and meditation (dhyana).
Typically, beginners receive the appropriate time and attention
of the teacher to get started in a safe and intelligent way.
Once you have established your practice, you will be left to
practice with minimal teacher interruption. In this way you may
investigate and discover the magic of Ashtanga on your own.

many advantages:
•
personalized guidance
