👩🏫 Our Teachers
Experienced guides committed to tradition, awareness, and individual growth.
The teachers at Ashtanga Yoga Richmond are dedicated practitioners who approach teaching as a practice of service, presence, and ongoing learning. Each teacher brings a deep respect for the Ashtanga tradition while meeting students with patience, clarity, and care.
Our teaching team emphasizes individualized guidance, particularly within Mysore-style classes. This approach allows teachers to observe each student closely, offering adjustments and instruction that support safe progression and sustainable practice. The goal is not performance, but awareness and consistency.
Teachers at the studio maintain their own daily practice and continue studying the method through ongoing education and mentorship. This commitment ensures that teaching remains grounded, informed, and aligned with the principles of the Ashtanga lineage.
Whether guiding beginners or experienced practitioners, our teachers focus on creating a supportive environment. Clear communication, respectful adjustments, and encouragement help students develop confidence and trust in their own practice.
