  Love this studio so much! The Mysore style classes are truly the way to progress in your yoga asana practice with helpful and tailored hands on adjustments from experienced teachers (like years and years of experience). This is as authentic an Ashtanga experience as you can get. If you have wanted to try Mysore and go deeper in your yoga practice this is the place to go in Atlanta.

  I have been a student of Ashtanga Yoga Atlanta for over three years, and I am so thankful that I found this place. Todd is a knowledgeable and intuitive teacher who expertly strikes the important balance of challenging his students to push past what they thought they were capable of while making sure they feel safe. This studio and this practice has brought significant growth to my yoga practice and my life. The Mysore style of guided self practice is tremendously helpful in that it allows you to focus on your practice while receiving one on one adjustments and instruction from an experienced teacher. The consistency of moving through the same sequence each day helps you to learn from each posture and progress more rapidly, and the practice builds over time to ensure that you are always challenged. It is an all level class, well-suited both for complete beginners and experienced practitioners wanting to deepen their practice. Todd and Brice are skilled teachers who have created a welcoming community at Ashtanga Yoga Atlanta. I highly recommend AYA!

  AYA has changed my life. I have been a long time vinyasa and heated yoga practitioner but ashtanga is when I saw the monumental shift both physically and mentally. AYA takes incredible care of their students and guides them in both a safe and challenging way. Todd and Brice care deeply for this practice and their students and that shines through every morning during Mysore. I am so grateful to have found AYA and plan to stick around a very long time! If you are at all interested in the ashtanga practice, I HIGHLY encourage you to check this shala out, they are the most experienced teachers in the area and it shows.

  I’ve been practicing ashtanga here for a little over a year. I started my yoga journey at 12 when I went to gyms and would attend classes there. I mainly stuck to vinyasa and hot flow classes. In 2015 I became a certified yoga teacher and started teaching at a hot yoga studio, little did I know my yoga journey was barely beginning. After years of practice and getting my 200 hrs plus ERYT I felt very jaded about the practice. Yoga had lost its humility and I was desiring something more. More genuine. More real. More disciplined and not this washed up American form of yoga workout. Then a friend referred my to AYA and I feel in love with the practice immediately. Finally I had a teacher with real experience, not some 200hr certified teacher but one with years and years of experience who travels to India to continue learning from their teacher. Having an experienced teacher makes a world of difference. My practice has grown immensely since starting ashtanga, way more than it ever did from getting my 200hrs or teaching. I can do poses I never thought imaginable and my whole person feels amazing. It’s not only become a physical practice but a mental journey that has helped me in all aspect of my life. It’s challenging enough and gentle enough when you need it to be. The practice cleanses you mind body and soul. Ashtanga means the world to me and I’m excited to see where practice takes me now. I finally have a lifelong practice that I can look forward to everyday.

  Have you ever been curious about what it's like to have one-on-one attention during your yoga practice, even if you're in a room full of other students? If this is something you're interested in, Mysore style Ashtanga Yoga at AYA is really worth checking out. The personalized feedback and an inviting community at AYA have converted me to Mysore classes. Todd gives great input and adjustments on how to improve your alignment in downward dog, urdhva dhanurasana, headstand, or whatever pose in the sequence you're working on. When I used to take more standard vinyasa flow classes, I never felt like I had the chance to understand a pose and improve at it over time. There was just very little individual feedback, so it never felt like I could really dig into the nuances of a pose. That's never the case at AYA. If you're looking for a place where you get to really deepen your practice and have your yoga teacher know you by name, AYA is the place. Thanks Todd and Brice for building such a great community!
