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 KPJAYI 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, UK and international teaching schedule, please click here. 

In studios, shalas and on retreats the method is Mysore-style 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. 

For more information about the method and how Philippa teaches please read:  Ashtanga Asana for Beginners & Beyond!

For Private Ashtanga yoga lessons and Online Led Primary, Led Intermediate Series, Pranayama and One-to-One sessions, please email Philippa directly.

Philippa also teaches and runs Ashtanga Nirvrta London (small-group Mysore-style Ashtanga yoga weeks in London) and at ASHTANGA NIRVRTA  in the Western Ghats of South India. 100 miles from Mysore and nestled in a stunning coffee estate in Sakleshpur (near where both Krishnamacharya and Pattabhi Jois once lived), ASHTANGA NIRVRTA and is an environmentally friendly ‘homestay yoga retreat’, that brings Ashtanga yoga to all levels of practitioners, in nature.  A maximum of eight guests per retreat, allows for optimum attention.   For what people say about Philippa’s teaching at NIRVRTA, click here!
