Ashtanga Yoga Fort Lauderdale

October 19-24, 2026 LED FULL PRIMARY INTENSIVE
SIX MORNINGS.
ONE SEQUENCE.
ONE COUNT.

For one week we change our Mysore schedule. Why?
Repetition reveals what we usually miss, or add. Where do you rush, where do you lose the breath, where have extra movements entered your practice. Do you follow the count or your habits?

Led class is not simply Primary Series practiced together. It is an essential part of the Ashtanga Yoga method - a place to return to the vinyasa, breath, rhythm, and count. Practicing it once is one experience. Practicing it six mornings in a row may show you something very different. This is not a challenge, and it is not about completing six Full Primaries. It is a week of attention, repetition, discipline, and practice.

Tomorrow, Saturday the 29th!
7:55 AM We’re waiting for you at the Shala for Led Full Primary. Traditional vinyasa count in Sanskrit, a specific pace that helps you prioritize your breath, and the energy of practicing together as a community.

Remember: you don’t have to prepare in any special way to follow the class. As long as you’re familiar with the sequence of at least Half Primary, you’re good to go!

Later in the evening - Ashtanga Movie Night! 🎬
Doors open at 6:00 PM, and we’ll start the movie at 6:30 PM. There’s an RSVP link in our Stories - please follow it so we know how many people to expect!

Thank you, and hopefully we’ll see you tomorrow!

Happy Guru Purnima!🙏
Guru Purnima is a day of gratitude - a day to honor the teachers who have helped us grow and the lineage of knowledge they have preserved and shared. In the yogic tradition, a guru is not simply someone to admire. A guru is someone who helps remove ignorance, encourages self-inquiry, and points the student toward a clearer understanding of themselves.

This naturally brings us to the teacher student relationship in Ashtanga. Traditionally, Ashtanga was learned through a long-term relationship with one teacher. Students practiced consistently under their guidance, often for many years. The teacher observed the student’s progress over time, offered new postures when appropriate, and came to understand not only the student’s body but also their habits, mindset, and approach to practice. In return, the student showed up with patience, trust, and commitment.

Today, we have access to more teachers, workshops, online classes, books, and social media than ever before. This has made the practice more accessible, but it has also changed the nature of the teacher–student relationship. We can collect information quickly, yet deep understanding still takes time.

Guru Purnima reminds us that yoga is not only about learning postures. It is about learning how to learn. The real practice grows through consistency, humility, curiosity, and trust.

Today, we express our gratitude to all the teachers who came before us, to those who continue to guide us, and to every student who helps keep this beautiful tradition alive.

Happy Guru Purnima🙏

May 4th be with You ☺️ Monday is here! Same as us - back in the Shala!
We hope you all had a great Sunday and had time to rest and enjoy the weekend.
The schedule for this week is in place:
Mon-Fri 6- 8 am Mysore (all levels, no levels - register and come)
Sat - Led Full Primary (if you do Mysore, come for the led; if you are not familiar with Ashtanga, come to a Mysore-style class first).
See you in the Shala 👋

Mysore and Led are different, but they belong together.

☀︎ In Mysore, you move at your own pace.
You learn the sequence step by step, repeat it, and start to remember it. Over time, the practice becomes more familiar and more your own.

☀︎ In Led class, everyone moves together.
The pace is set, the breaths are counted, and the rhythm is steady. It gives you a clear reference for how the practice is meant to feel.

If you only do Mysore, it’s easy to slowly change things without noticing - breaths get shorter, parts get skipped, the rhythm becomes personal. If you only do Led, the practice stays something you follow, but don’t fully build yourself.

When both are part of your week, they support each other. One helps you learn, the other keeps you on track.
In AYFTL, we propose you both - as part of one method 🙌

You are welcome. Free event 🍿

Practice doesn’t end when you roll up the mat.
The shala is not only a place to work - it’s a place to stay, to connect, to build something together.

This Saturday night , we spend time as a community.

Ashtanga Movie Night
Doors 6:00 pm.
Movie 6:30 pm.

✨Free event
✨Food and drinks on us
✨Come. Stay. Be part of it.

❗️requirement - let us know in advance if you are coming and if you have any food allergies. +1, +2 are always welcome!

Consistency, dedication, devotion, discipline.

Every Saturday, the shala holds the tradition: we come together for a full Led Primary class - one of the two formats through which the Ashtanga method is practiced and understood.

If you already know what is Led - you know the drill.

If you’re new but curious, there are two ways to begin:

1. Start with Mysore. You will learn gradually, at your own pace, building understanding step by step. And somewhere after few classes you can join (you will have to join Led) ;)
2. Come to the Led class. Here you experience the method as it is given: Sanskrit count, steady pace, and the full sequence of the Primary Series. You choose. You are always welcome.
