WHAT IS ASHTANGA YOGA
Ashtanga yoga - breathing and flowing sequence of poses

Our classes are based on Ashtanga yoga — a dynamic style that links breathing with a flowing sequence of postures. The practice builds warmth in the body, supports better circulation, strengthens and tones, improves flexibility, and brings a genuine sense of calm. Classes are modified to be accessible to all levels, so whether you are completely new to yoga or have years of experience, you will find a place here.


Ashtanga yoga - Vinyasa and ujjayi breath practice

The Ashtanga method uses breath-coordinated movement (Vinyasa), including ujjayi pranayama (victorious breath), bandhas (energy locks), and drishti (focal point). Postures follow a structured sequence, with each leading naturally into the next. You are always encouraged to work at your own pace — there is no competition, and no expectation beyond showing up.


Ashtanga yoga - athletic practice

This structured, energising style of practice suits people who appreciate a methodical approach and want to progress steadily over time. Beginners are warmly welcomed — Yaz adapts every class to the mix of students in the room, so you will never feel out of place on your first day.

Yaz Yoga testimonial from Breffni B

Yaz is a highly professional yoga teacher who motivates & encourages each of her clients to progress at their own pace. Under her guidance, I feel like I am making progress each week and appreciate her non-judgemental pointers which help me to correct, re-adjust & deepen certain positions as required. The additional breathing & relaxation techniques included in every class also ensure that I finish each session feeling both reinvigorated & relaxed.
