Ashtanga Yoga with Gabriella

We're delighted to have Gabriella from The YogaTree bring Ashtanga Yoga back to Maitri Studio.

Ashtanga Yoga classes

If you’re passionate about truly understanding the essence of Ashtanga yoga, Gabriella invites you to join her weekly Mysore classes. This unique format is the heart of traditional Ashtanga, where students practice in a group setting but receive individual guidance - pose by pose - from an experienced teacher.

• Mysore Evenings on Wednesdays 6-8pm from 4th September 2024
  
• Mysore Mornings on Fridays 6.30-8.30am from 6th September 2024
• Monthly led primary class on Saturdays - next one is 9-10.30am on 21st September 2024
• New students & regulars are welcome - come as you are, whether you’re just starting or have been practicing for years

"That’s why I’m offering weekly Mysore morning and evening classes where I can guide students individually and teach them the sequence pose by pose. Students that know the sequence can practice at their own pace in the group setting, and I’ll guide them with verbal cues and physical assists if necessary."

(Please let the teacher know at beginning of class of any injuries and/or if you would prefer not to be adjusted.)

Why Mysore?

Gabriella believes that the best way to learn and internalize the practice is through the careful, personalized instruction that Mysore offers. Whether you’re new to the sequence or a seasoned practitioner, you’ll receive the support you need to progress at your own pace.
