ASHTANGA
VINYASA
YOGA
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.

Currently, they continue studying with different teachers. Their Instagram account is @ashtanga.nataraja in homage to the representation of the Hindu god as the divine dancer Nataraja, reflecting their love for dance and yoga.
In the Ashtanga yoga tradition, there is no practice on new and full moon days. This is because it is recognized that, just as the moon influences the tides by exacerbating or calming their flow, it also influences our body. Therefore, these days of energetic extremes are considered days of rest.
In our school, we take advantage of these days to make a special practice on breathing techniques called pranayama.
Below you will find the 2024 calendar of pranayama sessions.
