Practices
Ashtanga yoga - Mysore style
Mysore style is a self-paced yoga practice within a group setting, and one of the best ways to begin your journey with Ashtanga yoga. Beginners are always welcome!
The teacher introduces each student individually to the sequence and adds new postures once the previous ones are learned. This way, every practitioner receives personal guidance and hands-on adjustments tailored to their needs and abilities.
Mysore classes are suitable for everyone – from complete beginners to advanced practitioners. They offer individual attention, help develop discipline, and allow you to build your practice at your own rhythm. If you have any physical limitations or injuries, the teacher will provide safe and effective modifications.
During the class, we follow our own breath, gradually deepening focus and enhancing the meditative aspect of the practice. This makes the Mysore style unique – at the same time independent and deeply supportive.
You can join at any time during the given time window, as long as you complete your practice before the end of the session.
Morning classes: 6:30–9:30 (entry between 6:30 and 8:00).
Evening classes: start at 17:30, latest entry 18:45.
Mysore classes are held on weekdays, except on new and full moon days.
Ashtanga yoga – Led class
The led class is a group practice in which all practitioners move in sync, and the teacher leads, counting the vinyasas in Sanskrit. This helps us to learn and perform the vinyasas correctly in the practice, to breathe properly and to get acquainted with the names of the poses. It is desirable that everyone be 10-15 minutes earlier so that the practice can start on time.
These classes are not suitable for beginners.
It is necessary to know and practice Half Primary (up to Navasana). Traditionally, in we practice only the poses that are given to us by the teacher in the Mysore classes. This is not the time to try new poses, as we risk injury. If we do a shorter part of the serie, we stop until our last pose before the backbanding and wait for the final part to join again.
The led practice is every last Saturday of the month at 10:00 and includes the Full Primary. You must register the night before.
Ashtanga Basics
Ashtanga Basics is a 60-minute guided class suitable for beginners or practitioners who wish to have a lighter, more mindful practice that day.
It’s the perfect way to take your first steps into Ashtanga yoga or to deepen your understanding of the foundations of the method.
The class moves at a slower pace and includes a shorter portion of the Primary Series, with a focus on clear explanations, correct alignment, and the connection between breath and movement. The teacher guides you through each posture and transition, helping you build a stable and safe base for your future self-practice.
This class is ideal for both complete beginners and regular practitioners looking for a gentler session or a chance to refine their technique.
If you are considering joining the Mysore program, Ashtanga Basics is an excellent place to start.

Backbending Class
The Backbending Class is a special session dedicated to backbends and spinal mobility, helping you expand strength, stability, and openness in the spine and shoulders.
It is inspired by Zornitsa’s one-month training in Mysore, India with Vinay Kumar at PranaVashya Yoga Shala, where she deepened her understanding of the balance between power, control, and flexibility.
The class combines elements of a guided session and Mysore-style practice, allowing for individual attention and hands-on adjustments according to each student’s level and needs.
Each session includes preparatory work to safely open the body — focusing on strong legs, active core, and stable arms — followed by progressive backbending sequences.
Over time, practitioners develop a deeper understanding of the anatomy and energetics of backbends, as well as their effect on breathing, focus, and emotional balance.
This class is open to all levels — curiosity and patience are more important than flexibility.
📅 Duration: 90 minutes
💳 Accepted passes: Tristana only (Multisport not accepted).
💰 Single class: 10 EUR
🎟️ Special 4-class card: 35 EUR (valid for 2 months)
Philosophy & Meditation – Ashtanga Yoga
Philosophy & Meditation is a weekly class dedicated to exploring the theory and philosophy behind Ashtanga yoga practice. Every Saturday, we take time to study the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the fundamental principles of Ashtanga yoga, and how they relate to both our practice on the mat and our everyday lives.
The class is taught in an interactive and informal format, using boards, visual materials, games, and creative educational approaches inspired by modern pedagogy and suggestopedia. This is not a dry lecture, but an inspiring gathering designed to spark curiosity and encourage deeper personal study of yoga philosophy.
Each session focuses on a specific topic—such as Yama and Niyama, Vinyasa count, the Tristana method, concentration, or meditation—and is suitable for all levels of practice. No prior theoretical knowledge is required; curiosity and openness are what matter most.
🪔 Saturday | 9:30 – 10:00
Philosophy & Meditation – free class,
before Mysore or Led practice at 10:00.
Strength & Conditioning
Strength & Conditioning is a functional training practice focused on developing strength, endurance, and quality of movement. The exercises and movement patterns in the program are carefully selected to be applicable both in everyday life and in sports.
The training includes elements that improve coordination, balance, and stabilization, as well as exercises that activate neuromuscular connections and support healthy circulation. Emphasis is placed on controlled and efficient movement, with the goal of preventing pain and building a strong, stable physical foundation.
The main part of the practice uses bodyweight exercises, gym balls, resistance bands, and other simple equipment (with plans to incorporate additional tools such as kettlebells and dumbbells in the future). Each session ends with stretching and relaxation to support recovery and promote an overall sense of lightness and energy.
The goal of Strength & Conditioning is to improve physical fitness, muscle tone, and mood—so you leave each class feeling stronger, more stable, and better than when you arrived.
