Ashtanga Yoga
A structured, physically demanding yoga sequence that builds strength, discipline and stamina through a set series of postures.
Benefits
- A set series of postures, so you can see your own progress from one week to the next.
- Physically demanding, built for those who want strength, discipline and stamina rather than a gentle stretch.
- The same sequence each time lets you move deeper into the breath and focus, not into learning new postures.
What to expect
Classes are levelled, so a first-timer and a regular can be in the same room. Wear something you can move in, bring water, and mention any injury to the teacher before you start. A private Ashtanga Yoga session is paced entirely around you instead of a group.

Read the full articleWhat should I wear and bring to my first yoga class?
Clothes you can move and bend in, ideally a top that stays put and bottoms without a hard waistband. Yoga is done barefoot. Bring water; our cork mats, blocks, straps, knee pads and bolsters (if you need one) are all provided, so you do not need your own.
Read the full articleWhen should I arrive, and can I eat before class?
Arrive ten to fifteen minutes early for a first class. Avoid a full meal in the two hours before; something light an hour or two before is better than arriving on an empty stomach.
