Ashtanga is a life supporting practice.
✨ We practice in the morning to lift our energy and prepare for the day ahead.

If you are feeling tired after practice, this can be a sign that consistency is missing.
✨When we practice regularly, the body adapts, building strength, stamina and resilience over time.

Incorrect breathing also leads to fatigue.
✨The heart of Ashtanga is the breath. It’s not just a focus point, it’s a gauge of how we are practicing.
Through consistent practice, we learn correct breathing patterns, increase our lung capacity, and cultivate vitality and wellbeing.
Better breathing for greater life quality!

Ashtanga Yoga - Why it’s not about stretching!

🪷DETOX:
Ashtanga is a dynamic practice that will make you sweat. But it is not the same as sitting in the sauna or working out in the gym. The Ashtanga sequence is specifically designed to ‘wring out’ your body, detox the organs and purify the blood from the inside out.

🪷STRENGTH:
Flexibility without strength is just instability. Ashtanga builds a resilient, mobile body. We don’t just reach for our toes; we build the core and structural strength to support us at every stage of life.

🪷 BREATH:
The heart of Ashtanga is the breath.
For many, it is the first time they pay attention to how they breathe.
Better breathing patterns improve the functioning of your nervous system.
BREATH is LIFE - better breath, better life.

🪷 MIND:
The body is the gateway, the mind is the destination.
We use the physical practice as a tool to sharpen the mind. It is a practice of the mind that leads to greater awareness and a lasting sense of peace.

‘How do we know that we are making progress in our practice?’

A question that I often get asked by students. My short answer is, the less we think about progress, the more we evolve through our practice.

But it’s a valid point to reflect on. 🤔

It is through the absorption of the method - which can only happen when we immerse ourselves in the continuous, sometimes mundane act of practice.
Through this absorption with the method, we become one with the doing, there is no separation. It becomes part of who we are.

This is where real transformation happens. We notice it in hindsight, by reflecting back on the person we were 1, 2, 3 years ago.
❓How is life now compared to back then?
❓Am I still making the same choices?
❓Am I still consuming the same things?

Use asanas as a tool, but not as a measurement for progress.

Age is just a number, mobility is a choice.

Meet David, he is in his sweet 60s sharing with us his message to the world -> ‘never stop moving’

If you already feel ‘old’ because of constant niggles, then that’s your inner alarm clock telling you it’s time to take care of your body.

Consider this:
🛑 the longer you ignore the signs, the harder it becomes to get started
🛑 neglecting your body will ruin your life

Start now! Whether you are in your 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond.

The goal is NOT to wrap yourself into a pretzel shape. The GOAL is to feel great in your body, to move painfree, play with your kids, travel, play sports and be a happy human being.

Ashtanga Yoga & Zen

We are dedicated to the traditional teachings of Ashtanga Yoga in the lineage of Krishnamacharya as taught by Sri K Pattabhi Jois (Mysore/India). This method enables each student to learn and develop an independent and safe yoga practice. Ash Hope is long term student of Nancy Gilgoff, one of the pioneers of Ashtanga Yoga and the first western women introduced to this method.
