Are you the owner of Atha Yoga Shala?
Atha Yoga Shala is a Yoga studio located in Pinner, London, dedicated to teaching Classical Ashtanga Yoga in the tradition outlined in the text 'The Yoga Sutras' of Guru Patanjali. The studio specialises in Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa, with a focus on promoting a holistic approach to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. They offer a variety of classes and services, including Asana (physical postures), Pranayama (breathwork), Dhyan (meditation), and Yog Kriya (yogic techniques).
The studio is led by Archana, a certified Yoga teacher, Ayurveda Practitioner, and mind-body wellbeing advocate. Archana has trained in traditional Ashtanga Yoga at 'The Yoga Institute' in Mumbai, India, and Ashtanga Vinyasa at 'Indea Yoga' in Mysore, the birthplace of Ashtanga Yoga. She follows the traditions and wisdom of Yoga, emphasising the importance of alignment, technique, and practising in harmony of the body, breath, and mind. Archana's aim is to help people find balance and feel great, both in their bodies and minds.
In addition to teaching regular yoga classes and workshops, Atha Yoga Shala offers a range of holistic services from their studio. Archana provides personal sessions, both in-person and online, as well as group classes, special programmes, and events for organisations and other groups. She is certified to teach Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Pre & Post Natal Yoga, Yoga for Cancer Rehabilitation & Recovery, Ayurveda, and Yoga Psychology.
The name of the studio, 'Atha', is inspired by the first aphorism (sutra) of Guru Patanjali's 'Yoga Sutra', which translates to 'Now, the teaching, and self-discipline of yoga begins'. With deep reverence for the tradition of Classical Ashtanga Yoga, Archana initiated on the path of eternal learning and sharing her passion with others. She invites students to come to the studio with the mindset of students, rather than customers, emphasising the belief that true Yoga happens beyond the mat.
Atha Yoga Shala can be contacted on their website or through social media. The studio is located on Marsh Road in Pinner, London, and offers a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere for students to practise and explore the transformative power of Yoga.
