Community
We are a diverse group that enjoys having a cup of coffee together after practice and supporting each other wherever we are in our yoga journeys or in our lives. New faces are always welcome!
Well-being
The ashtanga practice is a dynamic, meditative series of yoga postures (asanas) linked to breath. It offers deep cleansing, balancing and strengthening of both mind and body, and it teaches us self-acceptance, exploration, and discipline both on and off the mat.
Tradition
We practice traditional Mysore ashtanga, where practitioners receive personalized one-on-one guidance and assistance with their self-practice in a group setting. Classes are offered daily, and all are welcome regardless of age or ability.
Classes
AYS offers 4 types of classes: Morning and afternoon Mysore classes on weekdays. Led Astanga and technique class on Saturdays. Guided class on Wednesdays and Sundays. If you are new visit our start guide here to lean more.

When you come to the studio, we are there to facilitate and support you with your yoga practice and your development. We help you remember sequence, and help you continue with new or challenging poses until you master them yourself. At the Mysore class, you build up an independent personal practice that can support you throughout your life.
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.
