Ashtanga Yoga Centre - Cape Town

Traditional Ashtanga yoga in the heart of Cape Town with Charmelle, SYC Authorised level 2 teacher.

05/02/2026

We’ve had such a beautifully focussed energy in the shala this week ⭐️

Focus is something we can continually cultivate within the practice, using the Tristana:
- Keep attention on deep even breathing
- Maintain Drishti without letting the gaze wander
- Move through the postures of the practice with precision

Building this focus is deeply rewarding both on the mat and during the rest of the day✨

Workshop with Ethan Ward
This coming Saturday - 10 Jan 2026

⚡️CULTIVATING INNER STRENGTH

An open discussion on generating the energy to support smooth & effortless movement through the Ashtanga practice.
In this session we explore not only the experience of asana & vinyasa, but how this creates a devotional practice that brings us to a place of resilience & self-certainty.

💫 Ethan is back in town for a few days only - take this opportunity to learn and be inspired by his deep experience and wisdom in this practice.

His teaching schedule:

FRIDAY:
- Regular Mysore class 6:00 - 8:30

SATURDAY:
- Mysore class: 7:00 - 9:00
- Coffee break together ☕️
- Workshop: 10:00 - 12:00

Śīrṣāsana ♥

At the end of the finishing sequence of Ashtanga yoga, we have our regular headstand, followed by this half bend variation.
Both should feel balanced and be held with ease - if you’re using strength and force; it means you haven’t found the correct balance point yet! 🙃

I love working on this posture with my students, witnessing them as they find comfort & control✨
