Ashtanga yoga is a dynamic form of yoga, where movement and breath are closely connected. This kind of exercise can be highly meditative with experiences of flow. At the same time, it also strengthen and stabilises the body.
In Astanga Yoga Studio we use a specific teaching method known from the city Mysore in India. Here, the practitioners build, develop, and do their practice individually with help and guidance from the teacher. Everybody exercises in the same room, but in slightly different ways, depending on individual needs and situations. In this way, you get a specific, independent yoga-practice tailored to you.
All ages and bodies can do astanga yoga and you do not need any experience or knowledge about yoga in advance. The most important thing is that you are ready and eager to learn something new. With a regular practice you will quickly experience a greater sense of strength, clarity, and calmness

How you learn
Ashtanga yoga is easy to learn - regardless of age and shape. With the unique Mysore teaching you learn step by step, and one thing at a time.
Start with an inhale
Ashtanga Yoga practice starts with a very simple sequence of yoga poses performed in coordination with your breath. Each breath connects the different poses with each other.
Repeat
Then you repeat the sequence until you remember it. By slowly introducing poses and movements in this way, you work within your abilities and become calm, focused and stable in your practice.
Expand
When you remember the sequence, you learn more poses from the series. That way, you always work with something you can do, and something new you are learning that challenges you.
