Ashtanga Yoga

Chris Croft teaches Ashtanga Yoga as his teachers, which include Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, taught him. He leads Mysore Style & led classes, workshops, private tuition, retreats and corporate events across Devon, Somerset and the South West of England for all age groups and abilities.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a complete yoga practice that works.

Brought to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009), Ashtanga Yoga combines breath control (pranayama) and physical postures (asana) with sense withdrawal (pratyahara) and concentration (dharana). The result is a powerfully transformative experience that produces deep internal healing.

By synchronizing movement to breath (vinyasa) through a dynamic series of postures an internal heat is created that purifies the body and restores its natural vitality. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mental state.

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."
