Ashtanga Yoga Crete
Our teaching approach is based on the principles of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, a dynamic form of Hatha Yoga practice.
Each method is carefully adapted to the needs of the practitioner never the other way around. In this way, the practice becomes accessible and beneficial for every body type, level of experience, stage of life, and age.
We place special emphasis on the breath, as it forms the foundation of all asana. The quality and method of breathing lie at the core of our practice.
Our intention is to recognize the unique needs and experiences of each practitioner, so we can inspire, guide, and support their journey toward a personal and meaningful practice.
Experienced practitioners even at advanced levels are given the space to deepen their practice within a warm and supportive environment.
Beginners are equally supported, taking their first steps in a safe and carefully guided setting.
Mysore Practice
The Mysore method is a traditional way of teaching within the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system, as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, South India.
This approach differs from typical group-led yoga classes. Instead of collective instruction, each student receives individualized guidance within a shared practice space.
Practitioners move at their own pace, following a personal sequence based on their level and abilities.
The teacher supports each student individually, offering verbal guidance and hands-on adjustments when appropriate.
In Mysore practice, students learn to synchronize movement with steady, natural breathing. Through vinyasa the breath-led flow that connects postures a continuous transition from one asana to the next is created.
The Ashtanga sequence is structured so that each asana prepares the body and mind for the next.
The practice develops progressively. Beginners usually start with a shorter sequence, which gradually expands as strength, stamina, flexibility, and focus grow.

About Prāṇāyāma
The word prāṇa means vital energy, and yāma means control or regulation. Prāṇāyāma is the art and science of conscious breathing.
The most visible expression of prāṇa in the body is the movement of the lungs, which acts as a driving force for all other bodily functions.
Through the practice of prāṇāyāma, we learn to regulate this movement and, in turn, influence the flow of vital energy.
As prāṇa becomes more refined and balanced, the body begins to align and function more harmoniously.
By consciously regulating the breath, we cultivate and sustain greater energy and vitality. A person with abundant pranic energy radiates strength, clarity, and inner presence.
