Take a pause from the busyness of life and immerse yourself in five mornings of steady, nourishing yoga practice, reflection, practical exploration and study - a holistic journey that nurtures both body and mind.

The Ashtanga Yoga Summer School offers space to root yourself, reconnect with your body and spirit, and allow new perspectives to emerge through the tools of yoga, Ayurveda, and exploring asana and yoga as Ayurveda philosophy themes together.

The program intentionally takes place in the mornings, leaving the afternoons free to explore the quiet magic of the surroundings. You might choose to take a long walk, ride a bike through the countryside, swim, enjoy time with family if traveling together, or simply rest, soak up the magic of time and let the experience settle in.
