Ashtanga Yoga in Sacramento, CA
AYS is a growing community of ashtanga practitioners in California's capitol city. Since 2021 we have been honored to offer Mysore-style and led classes. Benett and Susana guide this program based on their plethora of experience in yoga, personal training, physical therapy, body work, and a shared obsession with anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics.
​
We operate out of Pipeworks Climbing & Fitness at 116 N 16th St, Sacramento. If you are not a member at Pipeworks and would like to drop in for Mysore class, please email us ahead - we would love to have you join us!
Offerings
ASHTANGA LED CLASS
Sundays 9:30 - 11am
Guided aka led classes are a way for all students to move and breathe together in unison - much like a modern “vinyasa” class. A traditional ashtanga guided class is taught using Sanskrit counting and breath cues to guide students in and out of postures. The intention behind guided class is to help students with learning sequencing of postures, synchronization of breath to movement, and to provide space for students to release any forcefulness or unhealthy attachment to perfection.
Each led class follows the general ashtanga sequence, with variation to suit present students as needed.
MYSORE STYLE
Mon, Wed, Fri, 7-9am
Mysore-style is an individualized, "open-room" method of teaching yoga. Students practice together in the same room, at their own pace, with one-on-one guidance from the teacher as needed. Beginners and veteran ashtangis are welcome all the same. Please arrive between 7-8am.
Fall Teacher Training
September 25 - December 14
Join us for a deep dive into the vast world of yoga and gain a deeper understanding of your own inner workings. Benett and Susana draw from their combined experience in yoga from all over the world, as well as their knowledge of physical therapy, yoga therapy, personal training, and bodywork. This training will expose participants to a wide variety of yoga styles and encourage each student to cultivate their own personal offering.
This training is geared toward veteran yogis, beginners seeking a deeper understanding of the practice, and those wishing to become teachers themselves.
Monthly Chat & Chai community hangout
Once per month we host a community hangout session after Sunday led class. We provide homemade spiced chai and members bring various homemade snacks. These gatherings are open to all, and are a great way to get to know our community!
