At Ashtanga Yoga Columbus (AYC), we believe so deeply in the transformative nature of the Ashtanga method that we created a space solely dedicated to exploring the benefits of the practice. With this intention, Taylor founded the Mysore program in 2012 to provide a community where students could learn Ashtanga yoga as it’s still traditionally taught in Mysore, India. Our vision has always included a desire to make the yoga practice accessible to all by creating an environment conducive to growth for different body types, identities, and experiences; including those in recovery from addiction. We believe whether or not individuals are struggling with barriers in their asana practice or in other areas of their life, they deserve a place to feel safe and supported in their journey of self-exploration. The community at AYC is built around a group of dedicated students seeking to improve their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being through the practice of Ashtanga yoga. However, at AYC, we offer the opportunity to learn the physical practice of yoga while socializing, engaging in community outreach, and diving deeper into the other limbs of Ashtanga. We offer ongoing teaching in chanting, yogic philosophy, pranayama, and meditation as well as asana and Ayurvedic workshops throughout the year.
