GoogleI've been practicing Ashtanga yoga for 10 years. Any Ashtanga practitioner knows that after years of practice, there comes a moment when determination and joy in practicing significantly decrease. I went to Phuket on vacation and happened to visit this studio. It was the most wonderful thing I've done in recent years. In the first class, I felt the joy I used to feel in my first years of practice. In this studio you can practices the real Ashtanga as teached by Patabijois (the first thing I noticed when I got in the studio was the sound of the breath). There is a strong focus on breathing and the correct execution of the asanas. The adjustments are amazing, and your body thanks you for it immediately. I felt I was entering the postures much deeper, and I didn't feel in danger at all with the adjustments. I haven't felt this much awareness in my practice for years. I was so thrilled that I extended my stay in Phuket and plan to attend the intensive Ashtanga course this year. I wholeheartedly recommend this studio and Rich and Sofya, who certainly know what they are doing and do it wonderfully. ❤️
One of the most inspiring places to practice Ashtanga yoga in the world. The teachers here are truly exceptional. Their knowledge of the body, anatomy and traditional Ashtanga practice is incredible, and they guide each student with great care, attention and respect for the individual body. But what makes this place truly special is the atmosphere. There is something very authentic and conscious about the way yoga is taught and lived here. You can feel that yoga is not just something they teach — it is something they truly embody. It is also beautiful to see how they raise their young son in this environment, sharing yoga and an active, mindful life with him. They are not only amazing teachers, but also wonderful human beings. People travel from all over the world to practice here — and once you experience it, you understand why. If you love Ashtanga yoga, this is a place you should absolutely visit at least once in your life.
I have known their work for a long time and they are one of the most dedicated yoga teachers I have seen. Every class is well prepared and taught with great care for her students. Maintaining high standards for certification is important for the integrity of the practice. I truly admire their professionalism and commitment.
Wonderful experience! I joined the Ashtanga Intensive Course and absolutely loved it. Sofya and Rich are incredible teachers, so attentive, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable. They offer constant support, the best adjustments and create such a warm and inspiring atmosphere in the shala. The program was well-structured, challenging, and full of learning. I’m leaving with a happy heart, deeply grateful for this beautiful and transformative experience. 🙏 and I’m sure I’ll be back! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ With much love and gratitude.
Great family of yoga teachers !!! The class has an atmosphere of active work on oneself. I easily concentrate on my breath. After practice, I feel very easy. Many go for many years. I asked one student, she said that she tried yoga in different places but here is the best and she comea here from another area. I also get great pleasure. Thank you, teachers!
