Building community through teaching and practicing ashtanga yoga in the Sarasota area.

08/28/2025

So excited to be heading up to Connecticut in September for a visit with my dear Yoga Shala family! While I’m there, I’ll be teaching a couple of classes for both old friends and new. Grateful to the local yogis and studio owners who have helped facilitate these opportunities for bringing community together.

Join me if you’re in the area. I’ll be teaching on Saturday 9/13 at Yoga Station CT in Georgetown from 2-4pm and Saturday 9/20 at Angel Coop in Ridgefield (our old Yoga Shala space) from 10:30-12:30.

All are welcome! Head to my website for details, links and registration. ashtangayogasarasota.com with and

New to Ashtanga or looking to refine your existing practice? This Sunday morning pop-up is an inviting approach to the traditional full primary series.

Coordinating breath and movement in a set sequence of asana, the practice is designed to purify the body/heart/mind - building strength, stamina and flexibility, while cultivating a focused state of attention.

In this Sunday practice, we will:

Move through the traditional sequence with attention to alignment, breath, and safe transitions

Explore modifications to encourage accessibility for all level students

Discuss the philosophy and purpose of the Primary Series with time for questions after practice.

Experience with the full primary sequence is not required, however a regular practice including surya namaskara A and B is suggested.

Practice in person or online. Register at www.rosemarycourt.com

Exploring Arm Balances and Inversions Workshop
with
Sunday, April 27th, 10am to 12noon
Register at rosemarycourt.com

This workshop is a guided and playful exploration of transferring weight off of the legs and feet through a variety of arm balancing and inverted asana. Many of the sequences of hatha, vinyasa and ashtanga yoga ask us to take weight off of the lower extremities and shift that weight to our upper body. We’ll explore the architecture of correctly aligned asana through balance, placement in space and effort. There is so much we can learn from shifting our orientation in space:) Join me this Sunday for a fun and challenging exploration on the mat!

Join me….Sunday 3/16, 10am to 12noon. Discussion and Practice Workshop: Developing a Personal Practice with Val Schneiderman. All levels welcome. Registration online rosemarycourt.com

Establishing a personal practice offers benefits to all level students, whether they practice a couple of times a week in guided classes, take Mysore-self-practice, or are looking to incorporate complimentary practices into their daily routine. In this workshop Val will discuss the traditional teachings on personal practice (Sadhana), the practicalities of incorporating asana, pranayama and meditation into your practice schedule, and share insight into awakening the wisdom of your own inner teacher. After some discussion time, students will have the opportunity to get on the mat and practice with Val’s assistance.

R. Sharath Jois 1971-2024

Leading by example, exceptional teachers inspire dedication and love of practice in their students. R. Sharath Jois was such a teacher. This is a great loss for the ashtanga community around the globe, and an immeasurable personal loss for his family. We hold them in our hearts. May his example live on in the teachings and through all those who had the good fortune to study with him. 🙏🏻💔🕊️🕉️
