Private Ashtanga Sessions in Dubai or Online — How They Work

Private sessions are for students building a steady Ashtanga practice. If you are new to Ashtanga, they are the place to start. They also suit students who are laying foundations or refining the series they already know.

Nelli Kulikova teaches traditional Ashtanga — Primary and Intermediate — in Mysore-style and led classes. A private session is ongoing one-to-one Mysore-style guidance. Each student works at their own pace with individual guidance. The work is breath linked with movement, posture, and pacing, suited to your body. The practice page sets out this way of working.

Primary is the first series, Yoga Chikitsa. Its standing, seated and closing poses are counted in the room. Intermediate, Nadi Shodhana, is the second series. It is added only when your practice and body are ready.

Sessions are in Dubai or online, by arrangement. The place for an in-person session is agreed when you book. Practice already runs in Dubai as pop-up classes, private sessions, and Mysore-style work in the Primary and Intermediate series. The sessions page is the main page for private Ashtanga classes in Dubai.

How online one-to-one sessions work is set out in online Ashtanga private sessions.

You enquire for the next available slot and message to find a suitable time. If you are new to Ashtanga, you begin with the Primary poses you are ready to practise. Those poses are counted in the room. If you already practise, the teacher works with the series you know, at a pace that fits your body.
