A Classical Yoga School in the Krishnamacharya Lineage

Ashtanga Yoga is a classical yoga krama that consists of a defined sequence of poses, breath control and gazing point. Asanas are linked by movement on the inhalation and exhalation. There is great emphasis on the subtle body forms, including energetic “locks”. Each pose in the sequence is a preparation for the next. At AYC, we use traditional methods of teaching: counted led classes and Mysore-style classes. The Mysore class involves self-practice under the instruction and support of a teacher. Poses are learned in sequence one at a time. In addition to Mysore-Style, we have guided classes for beginning, intermediate and experienced practitioners.

Props, blocks, straps, modifications and hands-on assists are available for students to find accessibility in our practice.
