PHILIPPA’S TEACHING

Philippa teaches the Ashtanga Primary, Intermediate, Advanced A and Advanced B Series, as learned directly from Sri K Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Jois at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute /KPJAYI /SYC in Mysore, India.  For comments on Philippa’s teaching, click here!

She shares the practice in studios and on retreats internationally and also offers online One-to-One lessons and Led classes.  For Philippa’s London and international teaching schedule, please click here

In studios, shalas and on retreats the method is Mysore-style Ashtanga guided self-practice (where students of all levels are taught individually, in the same room and practise at their own pace) and weekly Sanskrit-counted led classes (where everyone practises together, following the same breath and vinyasas, as counted by the teacher).  Philippa also leads workshops that focus on specific aspects of the practice.
