Pacific Ashtanga Yoga Shala

Dedicated to student growth, inspiration and health. In addition to our full schedule of yoga classes the Shala offers teachings on yoga asana (postures), breath practice, meditation and philosophy.

Dharma Talk on Sunday is part of our semester studies and led by director and master teacher, Diana Christinson. The teaching includes a book study to correspond to the semester theme.

Pacific Ashtanga Yoga Shala is part a beautiful linage of yoga from Mysore India. The Ashtanga Yoga system synchronizes breath and movement and in a progressive series of postures. The practice is holistic in keeping the body, mind and spirit vibrant and healthy.
