What is Ashtanga Yoga?
Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic and meditative practice that links each posture through a flowing sequence. It was founded by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915–2009). For 25 years, Pattabhi Jois studied under Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who is considered the father of modern yoga. After many years of following his teachings, Pattabhi Jois established his own yoga school in 1948: the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India. From the 1960s onward, students from around the world came to discover this style of yoga and helped spread its practice globally.
💛A free class, open to everyone
This session is offered voluntarily, with the intention of making yoga accessible to all.
