Are you ready to deepen your practice?
​
Ashtanga is known as the Original Vinyasa. A traditional method of yoga, the intelligent sequencing of Ashtanga will transform both body & mind.
Mysore is the traditional method of a yoga practice, where students make their way through the series of postures while the teacher works with students individually. This method allows for students to dive deep into their practice, explore & break through limitations, & experience total mind-body transformation. This method also encourages a close teacher-student relationship.

Moon Days
We don't practice Ashtanga during moon days as it is a way to honor the rhythms of nature. Also, according to Indian astrological belief, it is not auspicious to do certain things on moon days. Our yoga practice is part of this lineage, & by not practicing we honor the moon days.
Mark your calendars!
