TEMPORARY ZOOM VIRTUAL SCHEDULE

In an effort to support your yoga practice in this difficult time we are offering virtual classes that are free to anyone who wants to take them, however, and because of many of you have asked already how you can donate (which I am so thankful for!!!) I opened an option where you can make a donation for the classes. Sign in to your existing Mind Body account, or register if you haven’t already, choose virtual classes, pick the class you will join and it will give you few donation payment options to choose from ($5, $10, $15 or $20). Please remember the classes are free but the donations will definitely help the studio AND the teachers in these times. If you have any problem signing up please let me know.

NOTE FOR MEDICAL WORKERS: If you are working in the medical field and these times don’t suit in your working schedule, please let me know, I am open to add a class that works for you. Thank you for your work, and thank you for putting yourself in the front line for the benefit of society!

NOTE FOR MYSORE STUDENTS: please try to set your camera in a way I can see you clearly so I can help you better with verbal cues. All lights on please, it is not a romantic date 😉

On Monday 6, we will have as a guest in the philosophy class my Sanskrit teacher Suddher H.M, the topic is “Stories from the scriptures”, I am very excited about this class. He will pick stories from different type of sacred scriptures that leave some positive message relevant to the crisis we are all experience in present times.

WHAT WE TEACH

Welcome to Ashtanga Yoga Long Island and thank you for visiting our website!

At Ashtanga Yoga Long Island we teach yoga philosophy following Ashtanga Yoga (yoga of the eight limbs) as delineated by Patanjali in its Yoga Sutra text (pātañjalayogasūtras), and asana practice (combined with breathing techniques and meditation) following the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga method as delineated by my teacher Ajay Kumar, who learned from his teacher B.N.S Iyengar.

We teach Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in the two traditional ways, Mysore classes and Led (guided) classes. We embrace and observe Yamas and Niyamas as our ethical and professional guidelines, and all of the classes are taught under this moral standards. Read more…

These classes are designed to enhance your Mysore practice, they will give us more time to focus on some of the intricacies of the practice such as back bending and vinyasa (floating back and floating through between the postures).

SPECIAL EVENTS

We hold workshops and special training as well!

Besides our regular schedule we hold workshops on philosophy, anatomy, pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation, as well as special training on the Primary and Second Series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Apprenticeship Teacher Training is available for long time dedicated practitioners.

Workshops are important to both students and teachers. Students will learn new concepts through practical experience and teachers deepen their understanding in their field of knowledge. By studying the details of this old tradition we immerse ourselves into a method that has thousands years of knowledge and practice.
