Ashtanga-led
Ashtanga vinyasa is a hatha yoga practice transmitted to Pattabhi Jois from the yoga master Krishnamacharya. It is for students seeking an invigorating approach that purifies, stimulates and energizes. It consists of postures practiced in a fluid rhythm with a concentrated breath, steady gaze, and internal contractions to direct vital energy. Due to the dynamic nature of this practice, one feels completely energized and purified in each cell of the body and also in the mind. More details

Teacher
Preslav Menakiev
Preslav came to yoga in 2010 and was soon drawn to its philosophical and spiritual foundations. He explored Ashtanga, Sivananda, Power Vinyasa, and Bikram before taking one-week Jivamukti intensives in 2013 and 2014 where he learned more about asana as well as Yoga philosophy. He continued philosophy and Sanskrit with Manorama D'Alvia. Finally, he feels most connected to traditional Ashtanga Yoga which he finds truly inspiring with its calm power and grace. After maintaining a regular personal practice and attending Ashtanga courses and workshops with Denise Pesch since 2013, he completed in 2015 a 200-hour Ashtanga Vinyasa teacher training in Mysore, India, led by Jaiprakash, a direct disciple of B.N. Sundar Raj Iyengar from the Mysore Ashtanga tradition. He would like to share the practice with others in order to bring more equanimity and peace in the world. More details
