I hope you enjoyed the summer and had time to recharge your batteries. I spent the summer here, teaching and making trips around beautiful Switzerland. I also worked on changes in AYL class schedule, taking account of the feedback I’ve got from you. Most of the adjustments will be introduced in September, please check the class schedule on the website, because timings of some classes will be different. I hope you will like the changes, I’m looking forward to seeing again those of you who have been away!

Here’s a summary of the most important changes from September on:

• Instead of the morning Mysore on Fridays I will teach Ashtanga Led class.
• 1- and 2-months passes for Mysore will be 15% cheaper than before.
• Evening Ashtanga Led class on Thursdays will start 15 minutes later, at 18.15. 
• The 5x pass for the Led classes will be now valid for three months instead of two. 
• After Ashtanga Led I will teach a new Beginner class on Thursdays. First class will take place on September 7th at 19.45. 
• The LiLi classes restarted this week. The evening class will now take place on Tuesdays at 18.15.
• The next Full Primary Led class will take place as usual on the first Sunday of the month – on September 3rd at 9:30.

Take your mat and join us for some evening sun and yoga! 🙆🏻☀️

Last year at this time I was in India, practicing under the guidance of my teacher. This time I’m gonna spend the whole summer in Switzerland and, even though I miss Sharath and my Mysore friends, I’m happy to be here with a growing group of local Ashtangis while enjoying the beautiful summer in Lucerne 🙂

This year I won’t take holidays from teaching and most of the classes will take place as usual, with only a few exceptions – for more information check the class schedule or read the summer newsletter I’ve sent you yesterday. 

If you haven’t received the newsletter, you can read it here: Summer Newsletter.

Enjoy the summer days, see you on the mat!

Time is flying – exactly a year ago I started to teach classes as Ashtanga Yoga Luzern! For its first birthday Ashtanga Yoga Luzern got a new look – I hope you like the new logo 🙂

From the April Newsletter:

To encourage you to be more regular in the spring time, I will give you a 10% discount on the 1- and 2-month Mysore tickets. Till the end of June you can pay CHF 200 for an unlimited month in Mysore or 380 for two months. I’m sure that after a short time of coming regularly you will feel the lightness of your body, the relaxation and the focus that will set you up for the entire day.

Mysore is also a perfect place to start for the beginners. You can now try it with a new 5x Mysore Trial Pass meant for those who want to start practicing in this method. The ticket will cost CHF 75 (instead of 125) and you can use it within one month. So if you had any doubts whether this is the right class for you, just give it a try and experience how easily you can fall in love with the morning practice!

Save the date! On March 10th (Friday) at 19:00 we will meet for a yogic movie and stories about India 🙂

“Mysore Magic” is the first documentary about the truly magical city in South India where Pattabhi Jois set up the Ashtanga Yoga Research Insitute. This very special place many yogis feels like a second home to me. The movie takes around 30 minutes and afterwards I will tell you a little bit about my experience of traveling to India and studying at the Ashtanga Yoga Institute.

More details

I will be away between February 17th (Fri) and 24th (Fri). During that week all the classes will be cancelled. All the valid AYL passes will be extended for one week (Led class and LiLi) or ten days (Mysore).

Is getting in shape on your list of New Year’s resolutions for 2017? Ashtanga Yoga is a great way to achieve not only this goal, but also to make you healthier, happier and less stressed. Each day is a good day to start practicing Yoga, but if you want to build solid foundations from the beginning, you can start by joining the Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga workshop on 14.01.2017. The workshop is meant both for beginners and for more advanced students who want to review the basics of Ashtanga Yoga. Learn the details on the Workshops page.

In Ashtanga Yoga tradition New Moon and Full Moon are observed as rest days. On those days, instead of the regular morning Mysore class, I will teach a Moon Day class – a restorative sequence, followed by a long relaxation, pranayama or talk. Please save the following dates: 29.11.16 (Tuesday), 29.12.2016 (Thursday). I will update the website with the Moon Days for 2017. Learn more here.
