Authentic Ashtanga: My Mysore Parampara

Choosing a teacher is about finding a lineage that keeps the practice pure. When I share these postures with you, I am passing on the exact traditional methods I learned at the Sharath Yoga Centre in Mysore. This is not a watered-down version of yoga; it is the discipline as it was intended, taught with the specific corrections I received from my own guru. You get the benefit of that direct connection to the source every time you step onto your mat.

In a world where yoga often feels like a fitness trend, sticking to the parampara is my way of keeping the practice grounded. My journey as a Level 1 Authorised Teacher is built on years of repeating the same sequences in the traditional Mysore shala, guided by the watchful eye of Sharath Jois. When you practice Ashtanga with me, you are not just following a flow; you are following a structured methodology designed to build strength, flexibility, and, more importantly, a steady mind.

The Mysore style is about independent practice. You do not just follow me. You memorize the Sun Salutations, the standing postures, and the seated sequence. I am there to watch your breath, give verbal cues for alignment, and tell you when your body is ready for the next challenge. This is how I ensure you do not get injured and that you actually progress. Whether you are joining my online shala or coming to the Powai studio, the intent remains the same: a quiet, focused environment where the yoga happens between you, your mat, and your breath. We leave the ego at the door.
