Traditional Ashtanga in Dubai: Primary and Intermediate, taught in Mysore-style and led classes.
Primary is the first series, Yoga Chikitsa. Intermediate, Nadi Shodhana, is the second series, and it is added only when practice and body are ready — never rushed.

Private sessions are one-to-one Mysore-style guidance in Dubai or online, by arrangement. The place for an in-person session is agreed when you book, and the price is shared on request. If you are new to Ashtanga, private sessions are the place to start.
The Dubai pop-up is a shared Mysore-style room. Primary and Intermediate practitioners are welcome. Dates are announced once the room is confirmed, and the venue is shared at the same time. Join the waitlist to hear first. Pop-up classes are from AED 100 per class and from AED 900 / month (incl. VAT). The final price is confirmed at booking.
What a shared Mysore room is like is set out in Mysore-style Ashtanga: what to expect, and how online one-to-one sessions work is set out in online Ashtanga private sessions.
A Thailand retreat is open to enquiries. Days are built around Mysore-style Ashtanga, and exact dates, venue, and pricing are shared with the waitlist first. In Dubai, practice already runs as pop-up classes, private sessions, and Mysore-style Primary and Intermediate. Request a place by email at hello@ashtangayoga.ae.
