Ashtanga Yoga Newburgh
Learn traditional Ashtanga Yoga
Derived from the traditionally called Mysore style Ashtanga, this method of studying yoga asana is tailored to the individual's needs. Postures are taught one by one in a quiet room through individual instruction from a skilled teacher. The practice is taught gradually and according to each person’s needs and abilities.
Our Shala honors the lineage of Ashtanga Yoga as taught by Paramaguru Sri R. Sharath Jois. Bibi Lorezetti is a direct student of Guruji and dedicated to honoring his teachings, and life dedication to the practice.
Excellent For Beginners: Come observe or take a class during designated hours and speak to our teachers about initiating practice.
