Inside Ashtanga Yoga

A down-to-earth workshop and Mysore-style challenge that helps you finally understand the method, build confidence in your self-practice, and feel the steady power of showing up for yourself, one breath at a time.

Whether you’re a curious newbie, an on-and-off-again practitioner, or a Mysore student wanting a deeper why behind the practice, this is your chance to lift the lid, bust the myths, and experience Ashtanga the way it was meant to be: steady, supportive, and personal.

Let me tell you the truth...

Ashtanga has a reputation. And honestly? Some of it’s fair. It can seem rigid. Intimidating. Like it’s only for the strong, flexible, or advanced.

But that’s not the full story, and it’s definitely not how we teach it here.

At Live and Breathe Yoga, we lift the lid on what Ashtanga really is: a steady, breath-led practice that meets you where you are and grows with you for life.

I’ve practiced and taught this method for over 25 years. And what keeps me coming back isn’t the postures. It’s the clarity, strength, and stability it brings to everything else.

Inside Ashtanga Yoga was created to open that door for you. Whether you’re just getting curious or you’ve been practicing for years but feel a bit stuck, this is your chance to reconnect with the why behind the practice. To fill in the missing links, feel those “ohhh that’s why we do this” moments, and walk away re-inspired, recommitted, and more confident in how to move forward.

If you’ve ever thought…

“I just do better in a led class. At least then I don’t have to think.”
“Mysore feels confusing. I don’t want to do it wrong.”
“I’ve been practicing for a while but I don’t actually know what I’m doing or why.”
“I’m showing up, but I feel stuck and a bit disconnected.”

You’re not alone. And you’re definitely not the only one who’s felt unsure, overwhelmed, or like you’re missing something.

Here’s the truth. Mysore-style classes are powerful because they make you think. You’re focused, present, and learning to trust your own breath and rhythm. That’s the point. But if no one has ever helped you understand the method, the chants, or the why behind the postures, it can feel like a guessing game.

Inside Ashtanga was created to fill in those gaps.
To give beginners the confidence to practice independently, and give regulars the deeper understanding they’ve been craving. This is where you stop performing and start practicing. Fully. Clearly. With support.

What makes Inside Ashtanga Yoga different

This isn’t just another yoga workshop.
This is a lineage-rooted, insight-filled invitation to experience Ashtanga the way it was meant to be: clear, personal, and completely supportive.

You won’t just follow along. You’ll understand why each element matters. You’ll connect the dots between breath, posture, and purpose. You’ll learn from a teacher with 25+ years of lived experience, direct study in Mysore, and a gift for making big ideas feel simple.

Here’s how we roll:

Real lineage, not just choreography

A teacher who knows how to meet you exactly where you are

A structure that builds confidence instead of pressure

Guidance that’s rooted in tradition but full of heart, humour, and humanity

A space where questions are welcome, growth is supported, and the practice is tailored to you

This isn’t about getting it right.

It’s about feeling empowered in your body, clear in your mind, and steady in your life, on and off the mat.

What we’ll cover and why it matters

This isn’t just a deep dive into the structure of Ashtanga. It’s an experience designed to help you integrate what you learn in your body, your breath, and your mindset.

You know how to modify with confidence, work around injuries, and adapt your practice to support your body.

The mark of an advanced practitioner isn’t doing more.
It’s showing up consistently, adapting wisely, and listening deeply.
Inside Ashtanga helps you become that kind of practitioner.

You’ll walk away with steady rhythm, a deeper understanding, and a quiet confidence that supports every part of your life.

What students are saying

“I did led classes for years, but once I got brave enough to admit I was stuck, I finally tried Mysore. I couldn’t believe how much Allison helped me, just in that first session. Every practice since has been a revelation. I now feel in control of my own practice. I can see patterns in my movement and mindset and finally start to shift them. Being able to ask questions and get specific guidance for my injuries has been a complete game-changer.”

“Self-practice has become a vital part of my yoga journey. I feel peaceful, satisfied, and invigorated every time I step off the mat. The studio energy is calm but uplifting. It helps me stay reflective and committed to my growth.”

“I love being able to work at my own pace and feel connected to my breath. Mysore-style lets me spend time where I need it, and watching my practice evolve has been so motivating. The studio feels like a sacred space. Quiet, calm, and welcoming.”

“Mysore feels like a choose-your-own-adventure. Some days I explore, some days I challenge myself, and every day I meet myself exactly where I am. That’s the beauty of this practice. It becomes yours.”
