What is Ashtanga Yoga?

Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic and physically demanding style of yoga that follows a specific sequence of postures, linked by breath and movement, known as Vinyasa. This method, taught in its traditional form by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India, is characterized by its precise series of asanas, synchronized with Ujjayi breath (victorious breath), Bandhas (energy locks), and Drishti (gazing points). The primary series, known as Yoga Chikitsa or Yoga Therapy, is designed to detoxify and align the body, building internal heat that purifies the blood and organs. Through consistent practice at Ashtanga Yoga Baguio, students develop immense physical strength, flexibility, and endurance, while simultaneously calming the nervous system and sharpening mental focus. The structured nature of Ashtanga provides a meditative experience, transforming a simple workout into a moving meditation that fosters deep self-awareness and discipline. Our classes at Ashtanga Yoga Baguio emphasize proper alignment, breath control, and mindful transitions, ensuring a safe and effective practice for every student. Join us to explore the profound lineage of Ashtanga Yoga and discover the transformative power within you.

Our Class Offerings

At Ashtanga Yoga Baguio, we offer various class formats to accommodate different experience levels and preferences. Our traditional Mysore-style classes are the cornerstone of our program. In a Mysore class, students practice at their own pace, memorizing the sequence of postures, and receiving individualized adjustments and guidance from the teacher. This self-practice format allows for personalized attention, addressing individual needs and challenges, fostering independence, and deepening understanding of the practice. It is a highly effective way to learn Ashtanga, providing a meditative and deeply personal experience. For those new to Ashtanga or who prefer a guided session, we also offer led classes where the teacher calls out the poses and counts, helping students learn the sequence and rhythm of the practice. These classes are perfect for building confidence and understanding the Vinyasa count. Additionally, Ashtanga Yoga Baguio periodically hosts workshops and special events focusing on specific aspects of the practice, such as inversions, backbends, or philosophical discussions, enriching your yoga journey. Our flexible schedule is designed to integrate seamlessly into your daily life.

Benefits of Ashtanga Yoga

The benefits of a consistent Ashtanga Yoga practice extend far beyond the physical realm. Physically, students report significant improvements in strength, flexibility, balance, and stamina. The systematic nature of the series builds a strong, supple body, tones muscles, and improves circulation. Mentally, Ashtanga cultivates unwavering focus, concentration, and discipline. The synchronization of breath and movement trains the mind to stay present, reducing stress and anxiety, and promoting mental clarity. Emotionally, the practice can be incredibly therapeutic, helping to release stored tension and emotional blockages, fostering a sense of calm and emotional resilience. Spiritually, Ashtanga provides a profound pathway to self-discovery and inner peace, connecting practitioners to their deeper consciousness. Many students find that their off-the-mat lives are positively impacted, experiencing increased energy, better sleep, and an overall enhanced quality of life. Ashtanga Yoga Baguio is committed to helping you harness these myriad benefits, guiding you towards a more vibrant and fulfilling existence through the timeless wisdom of yoga.
