Yoga classes are based on the ashtanga vinyasa yoga system in the tradition of Sri Krishnamacharya and Sri Pattabhi Jois. 

​

Ashtanga yoga is an ancient system of investigation and self-knowledge. It was systematized by the sage Patanjali and structured into eight aspects: Yama (ethical foundations), Niyama (attention to life habits), Asanas (postures), Pranayama (breathing), Pratyahara (abstraction of the mind), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (union). 

Vinyasa means coordination of movement and breathing. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a type of practice that coordinates movement and breathing in a dynamic sequence of postures.

CLASS FORMAT

​

The practice will follow the "Mysore" style, that is, a practice in which each student follows their own pace while the teacher gives instructions and makes adjustments individually. This teaching method has the virtue of allowing the student to benefit from the energy of the group to advance in their practice while being accompanied by the teacher in a personalized way.

 

FIRST CLASS

​

It is not necessary to have previous knowledge or a specific physical condition to practice yoga. In your first class, the teacher will gradually introduce you to the practice. When you get to the room, find a place for your mat and wait for the teacher's instructions.

 

RECOMMENDATIONS

​

• Bring your own mat. 

• Bring comfortable clothes. 

• Bring a hand towel to dry your sweat.

• Try not to eat before training 

• Be punctual to optimize practice time
