Ashtanga Yoga
Our Ashtanga Yoga program follows the traditional Mysore-style method with daily practice sequences that build strength, flexibility, and mental focus. Instructors provide personalized adjustments while maintaining the integrity of the classical eight-limbed path. Students progress systematically through six series, each requiring mastery before advancing to the next level.
Teacher Training
The 2-year apprenticeship program develops skilled instructors through daily practice, anatomy study, and hands-on teaching experience. Students learn Sanskrit counting, adjustment techniques, and injury prevention under direct supervision of authorized teachers. Graduates meet Yoga Alliance RYT 200-hour standards while maintaining traditional lineage requirements.
Yoga Retreats
International retreats combine daily practice with cultural immersion in locations like Mexico's Xinalani eco-sanctuary. Programs include structured morning sessions, afternoon workshops, and evening philosophical discussions. Participants experience traditional practice in natural settings while building community connections through shared practice.
Private Sessions
One-on-one sessions offer tailored guidance for individual needs and goals. Instructors create customized sequences addressing specific physical limitations or advancement objectives. Sessions focus on proper alignment, breath coordination, and progression through the Ashtanga system while maintaining traditional methodology.
