Ashtanga Yoga in Sydenham

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in Sydenham

If you’re based in or around Sydenham and looking to build strength, find a bit of calm, or simply reconnect with your body, we warmly welcome you to join us at The Shala. Our Ashtanga classes near Sydenham offer a grounding, breath-led practice that aims to deepen your yoga practice—whether you’re completely new to yoga or returning to the mat after some time away.

Ashtanga is a flowing, dynamic style of yoga where movement and breath come together in a steady rhythm. It’s a practice that can be physically challenging but also deeply calming, offering not just a way to move your body but a way to feel more centred and present.

What Our Classes Are Like

In each class, we move through a set sequence of postures, beginning with sun salutations and building gradually into standing, seated, and closing postures. The breath acts as your guide, helping to create a steady rhythm and focus throughout.

We offer both traditional guided sessions and Mysore-style classes, which give you the freedom to move at your own pace with support from the teacher. You don’t need to be flexible or strong to start—just bring yourself, as you are.

What You Might Get From the Practice

Everyone takes something different from Ashtanga, but here are a few of the benefits many people notice over time:

More strength and flexibility, without force
A clearer head and steadier mood
Better sleep and improved focus
A chance to slow down, breathe, and check in with yourself
A supportive space where progress happens naturally
