It’s great to see you so many new students starting their Ashtanga journey for the New Year!
My vision has always been to offer an alternative to the regular yoga studios out there. The term ‘Shala’ is derived from the Indian idea of offering a home for wandering yogis in the rain, hence I wanted to interpret that for my own people in modern day Dublin. I’ve spent many years studying at the source of this practice in Mysore, India and my experience is that the only way to truly benefit from Ashtanga is to teach it in a traditional setting.
Please don’t be fooled into getting caught up in the aesthetic of Ashtanga yoga – this has nothing to do with the true vision of yoga. Ashtanga is an incredibly powerful tool for self-transformation. It’s suitable for ALL ages, body types and fitness levels – all that is needed is an open mind and enthusiasm to learn!
I’ll be practicing with Certified teacher, Hamish Hendry in London on a special course for Authorised teachers next week (which I’m super excited about!)
Hence, I’ll be leaving you in the very capable hands of Louise, Meg and Rory. All our teachers are very experienced practitioners and have been trained to the highest calibre (check out their Bios via https://ashtangayogaireland.ie/teachers/) I’ll only be away from Mon to Fri and will be back fully rejuvenated with the magic of the Ashtanga practice for you all!
See you at the Shala,
