The power is in the hands not in the words.

There is something very special about physical adjustments in Ashtanga. It’s the way how the practice is transmitted. Through these adjustments the teacher gives the student a direct experience of the asana. It creates body memory and also helps the student to overcome fear. Skilful adjustments can be the best thing you ever feel in your life and they can deepen your human experience on many levels (physically, emotionally and spiritually)

When we use too many words to explain the practice or a posture, we intellectualise the process. The experience changes. The mind starts to analyse and break down the words and instructions, disconnecting from the physical experience. To fully absorb the method and immerse in the process we need to let go of the thinking mind.
This is how we develop and grow shraddha.

!!!Learning the art of adjusting needs to be studied carefully with an experienced teacher and it takes time to master this skill!!!

Always grateful for my teachers 🙏

Training for the mind. 🧠

We need the right tools and techniques to train the mind. Vedic chanting is an ancient method and considered one of the central medicines for our minds, according to Ayurveda. Vedic chanting should not be confused with melodic sing alongs or Kirtans.
Vedic chanting is an intelligent system and modern research shows us that it can improve focus, memory and cognitive resilience.

Caring for our mental health goes much further than to take supplements and track our sleep and nutrition. It’s requires regular attention and ‘training’ to operate at our highest level, manage mental challenges and prevent aging diseases like Alzheimer and dementia.

I’ve started studying with my teacher 3 years ago as a total beginner and I love working with her. Shantala is a brilliant teacher and wonderful person. Her courses are accessible for any level. She has a wonderful community of students from around the world and from all walks of life.

Thank you Scott for sharing your scientific insights on these ancient systems

Pattabhi Jois was a scholar, a Professor at the Government Sanskrit college in Mysore. When he developed the Ashtanga Yoga syllabus it was designed as a Diploma course.
Each year level contained a practical and theoretical part, a list of asanas and appropriate scriptures / texts to study. This syllabus covered the Primary, Intermediate and Advanced A+B asanas as well as a complementary Pranayama practice.

The Ashtanga yoga system is designed to be studied consecutively, just like any other degree we commit ourselves to. It requires the same, if not more, amount of dedication, than showing up at university or at our workplace.

Most people don’t realise the depth of this system when they begin their practice. A lot of people will never go beyond the physical benefits of health and well-being. But for those who want to go deeper - dive in.

Maui, a special place for many reasons. I am so glad I came back this year. It’s not just my favourite place to practice but also a place to meet new and old friends. I am beyond grateful for the time we had with Shelley and David - they are both a huge inspiration for me for their kindness, generosity, humour, love, work ethic, values and much more!!! 💕

Being back in Nancy’s shala was special too. A place that breathes decades of Ashtanga history. When you step inside you can feel the energy of all who practiced here before. The room is filled with breath, sweat and smiles. It’s a safe space to learn and grow.

Thank you to everyone we had the pleasure to meet on this trip. Thank you to David and Shelley for guiding and inspiring us 🙏

The House of Yoga and Zen on Maui, Hawaii is not the place where Ashtanga was invented. But it’s the place where it is practiced authentically, non-dogmatic and with joy. The photos tell the story of the last 40 years. There was a lot of sweat and effort mixed with laughter and tenderness. I call it the sweet spot - where everything just feels right.

This is what “old school” Ashtanga is. If you know you know.

I am very happy to be back again in the shala with David and Shelley.
Nancy is ever so present as her legacy continues. 🙏🌺

Ashtanga Yoga & Zen

We are dedicated to the traditional teachings of Ashtanga Yoga in the lineage of Krishnamacharya as taught by Sri K Pattabhi Jois (Mysore/India). This method enables each student to learn and develop an independent and safe yoga practice. Ash Hope is long term student of Nancy Gilgoff, one of the pioneers of Ashtanga Yoga and the first western women introduced to this method.
