Introduction

Ashta Yoga focuses on offering private personal, partner, mental health, addiction recovery and group yoga sessions based upon the traditional Ashtanga practice. We are an excellent choice for corporate yoga wellness programs. We are beginner friendly, all inclusive and teach proven methods to maintain wellness. The Ashtanga practice is a tried and true practice that for Millie has helped its practitioners realize optimum physical and mental health. Ashtanga is very different from the westernized yoga we have come to know. The Ashtanga Yoga Practice: 1. Regulates weight and tones the muscles 2. Relaxes the mind and body 3. Reduces anxiety and depression 4. Induces concentration and overall mental acumen 5. Teaches us how to live in healthy union within our community. Ashtanga yoga is an 8 limbed practice: 1. Movement 2 Breathing 3. Personal ethics 4. Social ethics 5. Sense withdrawal (detachment) 6. Meditation 7. Maintaining meditation 8. Contentment Ashta Yoga's approach to teaching is traditional. The students and teachers work together in such a way that the student comes to learn how to practice the 8 limbs in daily life. The goal is for the teacher to be less and less needed. The student will able to cultivate contentment anytime and anywhere with the breath, body and mind only. The Ashtanga practice coupled with Aryurveda (ancient science of health) and sacred texts may be used as a spiritual practice, a yoga class, spiritual healing, life coaching and more. Ashta Yoga does not outsource. I am the only teacher. I was taught under a sacred linage and studied and lived in India as well. Yoga is stilling the fluctuations of the mind Everything action should embody stability and ease in equal measure. Stability and ease result in physical and mindful balance of life. Ashtanga yoga gradually reduces all life obstacles by teaching right body and mind reactions to the suffering of life. Practice and all is coming. Hatha yoga for beginners and beyond. Ashtanga is a Hatha practice combing vinyasa, slow flow and restorative physical postures. Alternative healing and life coaching sessions with an Ashtanga foundation offered.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a private yoga class with Ashta Yoga for some friends visiting from out of town. The class took place on my pool deck, and she provided everything we needed, including mats and blocks. The entire experience was nothing short of amazing and incredibly relaxing. She was so lovely and kind to work with, making us all feel comfortable from the start. On top of that, she shared some wonderful stories, adding a personal touch that made the session even more memorable. I highly recommend Ashta Yoga—it’s a fantastic activity that left us all feeling rejuvenated and peaceful. Truly a great experience!

I recently met Sarah for a private yoga session in my home and was beyond impressed with her yoga knowledge and experience. She understood my needs and concerns as I recently recovered from knee surgery. She knew which specific poses would help me strengthen the areas I need to as I continue to recover. She backed up everything she taught me from her yoga book and explained how and why they should be my targets. She can focus on yoga theories as well as the various poses. In the hour we were practicing, I learned so much! I do recommend Sarah for any types of Ashtanga yoga sessions as she seems to know her stuff and has the perfect personality that would seem to fit any environment!

My husband and I have been working with Sarah since spring of this year. It's been fantastic. Sarah does a great job of assessing her client's needs and tailoring each session to meet those needs. My husband's flexibility has improved greatly and we've consistently been able to accomplish more each week. It's also been a uniquely special way for us to connect. Highly recommend for anyone whose curious in the practice of yoga!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices tend to be above market value. This is because Ashtanga Yoga is a specialized sacred practice. There are 8 limbs to learn The postures are only one. Ashtanga is the highest quality yoga one can practice. In addition the goal is to learn to 8 limbs well enough the teacher is less and less needed. The Ashtanga practice becomes a way of life in which the student/practitioner will be able manifest peace at any moment once the practice has been commanded. Therefore long run a student will save money by no longer needing a teacher to practice.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Upon meeting a new customer I asses the lifestyle of the student/customer in order to tailor a personal approach to the Ashtanga practice. I asses tools the student may or may not utilize to bring about mental and physical health, balance, stability and easeful practices. I can then determine what tools and approach I need to teach Ashtanga Yoga. From there I recommended and tailor an approach.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ERYT 200 through the Yoga Alliance. I also studied under Sri Dharma Mittra's student. Mittra was taught in Mysore India. I also studied in India. I have practiced and taught for approximately over 10 years.
