About us

About Ashtanga Yoga Dublin

We are the only full-time, dedicated Ashtanga Yoga school in Ireland.

The aim of the school is to help students to develop a personal Yoga practice with which they can create strength, flexibility and balance of body and mind.

Our Ethos

In Yoga the teacher/student relationship is key to one's development. In the school, we get to know each student and work with them on an individual basis, focusing on their specific needs and particular requirements. Yoga is more than just an exercise system, and the school is more than just a place to practice.

The ethos of the school is rooted in the philosophy of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra and the teaching of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (Guruji), of the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute, Mysore, India. All classes follow precisely the Vinyasa system of Asana practice (yoga postures) in the traditional way, as taught in Mysore.

The Yoga Shala

School of Ashtanga Yoga Dublin is in 16 Main St., Blackrock, Co. Dublin. The entrance to the school is on Idrone Lane to the rear of the building. From the reception area, steps lead down to the Changing Rooms, each with shower facilities, and to the brand new Yoga Shala itself, where all classes take place. The School is close to all amenities in Blackrock, with ample parking in the locality, either 1 minute away at the DART Station or in Blackrock or Frascati Shopping Centres, each 5 mins away. For a map of the location see the Contact Us page.

Classes and Workshops

The School has classes 7 days a week, and runs Introductory Courses for beginners every 4 weeks. All classes are pure Ashtanga Yoga and are taught in the traditional 'Mysore-style', exactly as they are by our Guru, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, at his Shala in India.

For those who would like to explore their Yoga practice in greater depth, the school runs an ongoing One Year Intensive Course, 'The Heart of Yoga'. For full details on this course click here.

As well as the regular classes, the School also hosts Workshops given by teachers authorised and certified by Pattabhi Jois. This is a very important aspect of the School's programme, bringing to Ireland some of the foremost teachers of Ashtanga Yoga.
