With its origins in Mysore, India, Ashtanga Yoga is a series of set asana sequences linked by the breath.

Through regular practice the body becomes flexible, strong and stamina is increased.

Slow controlled breathing and deep concentration creates focus, inner steadiness and resilience.

Regular practitioners also experience increased clarity, vitality and an overall sense of wellbeing.

Join our next Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga course.

The Way Forward: Breathwork for Transformation with Yasmin 
Thursday November 6
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM 

AED250 (early bird by Oct 31)
AED295 (regular price)

Breathwork is a transformative practice that harnesses circular breathing to promote deep healing, emotional release, and overall well-being. By resetting the nervous system, it helps you melt tension, reconnect to your inner guidance, and meet life with renewed vitality.

Many describe it as one of the most profound experiences they've had. Whether you're navigating life changes, seeking clarity on a situation, or longing to feel more connected to yourself, breathwork offers a powerful space for meaningful insight and transformation.

No yoga or meditation experience is needed — if you can breathe, this is for you.
