Welcome to Waterford Yoga, your sanctuary for strength, flexibility, and inner peace through Ashtanga Yoga. Nestled in the heart of Waterford city, our studio is a haven for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike, seeking to explore the transformative power of one of yoga’s most dynamic and structured practices.
What is Ashtanga Yoga?
Ashtanga Yoga, rooted in ancient yoga teachings, is a method that involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures—a process producing intense internal heat and a purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.
Our Ashtanga Classes
At Waterford Yoga, we offer a comprehensive Ashtanga program tailored to fit all levels of experience and flexibility. Our classes are divided into three main types:
- Mysore Style: A self-paced class allowing students to practice their own portion of the Ashtanga sequence at their own pace while a teacher gives individual guidance and adjustments. Ideal for all levels, providing a personalized approach within a group setting.
- Led Classes: These classes guide students through the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga as a group, with the teacher leading the sequence and pacing. Suitable for those familiar with the basics of the Ashtanga sequence.
- Beginner’s Workshops: Designed for those new to Ashtanga, these workshops introduce the fundamentals of the practice, including breath, posture (asana), and gaze (dristi).
