Ashtanga Yoga Covent Garden, located in the vibrant city of London, invites you to experience the transformative power of Ashtanga Vinyāsa Yoga. With its roots dating back to the 1930s, this flowing form of yoga, pioneered by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and his teacher Kishnamacharya, offers a unique opportunity to enhance your strength, flexibility, and mental clarity.
The practice of Ashtanga Vinyāsa Yoga encompasses a series of postures, organised into six distinct sequences. From Sun Salutations and standing postures to seated positions, backbends, and inversions, every aspect of this practice contributes to your overall well-being. What's more, the heart of Ashtanga Vinyāsa Yoga lies in its emphasis on vinyāsa—a harmonious union of movement and breath. This synchronisation creates an internal heat, purifying your body and enhancing blood circulation.
At Ashtanga Yoga Covent Garden, the tristhāna, which highlights the unity of posture, breath, and dṛṣṭi (gaze point), takes centre stage. The Āsanas, or postures, cleanse and strengthen your physical body, while the breath acts as a purifier for your nervous system, bringing stillness to the mind. By channelling your focus through the dṛṣṭi, you'll cultivate a deep sense of concentration and mental clarity.
To help you embark on your Ashtanga Yoga journey, our club offers both Ashtanga Mysore classes and Led Classes. In the Mysore style, you'll have the opportunity to learn at your own pace, receiving personalised attention from our experienced instructors. Led Classes provide a guided practice, perfect for those who prefer a structured approach.
So, whether you're a seasoned yogi looking to deepen your practice or a beginner ready to explore the world of yoga, join us at Ashtanga Yoga Covent Garden. Discover your fullest potential, embrace a greater level of self-awareness, and experience the many benefits that this ancient practice has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you to our community of dedicated yogis. Namaste!
