Our Ethos

In Yoga the teacher/student relationship is key to one's development. At Ashtanga Yoga Dublin we get to know each student and work with them on an individual basis, focusing on their specific needs and particular requirements. Everyone learns the same practice but in a way which is appropriate to them, as each body is different, each person's breath is different, as is everyone's experience and expectation.

Come and learn in Yoga in a way that is designed to suit you, and in an environment that is calm and clear. Develop a practice that is appropriate for you specifically and which will evolve and change according as you need it too. Many of our students have been with us for many years now and have gone from being Beginners to, in some cases, being Teachers as well. Yoga can create the conditions for a healthy life, for less stress and worry, for more vitality and enjoyment, which especially these days, is exactly what we all need.

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.

Have a look at our full class timetable here.

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.
