About Te Aro Astanga Yoga
The word astanga literally means ‘eight limbs’.
The physical yoga postures (asana) that we see on the surface are just one of the eight limbs/branches of astanga yoga.
The other limbs include ethical restraints and observances (yamas and niyamas), breath control (pranayama), internal focus of the senses (pratyahara), concentration (dharana), meditation (dhyana) and unity/contemplation (samadhi).
Pattabhi Jois taught that practicing and mastering asana is essential for cultivating the other limbs of astanga yoga.
Astanga can sometimes be a demanding practice, challenging our perceptions of our own capabilities and expanding our personal expectations. As with almost anything in life, what we gain through this practice depends on what we put into it. The rewards can be enormous if we approach our practice with ongoing patience, humbleness and dedication. Through a deeper knowledge of self, comes freedom from limitations.

β β β β β TAAY is a cozy, down to earth shala. I've been practicing here, with Mike since 2012.
Ashtanga (or spelled Astanga) is my favourite flavour of yoga because Mysore style lets me stay connected to my body. Some days my energy feels low and I can listen to me. That's the beauty of Mysore style yoga, you develop a practice - how cool is that?

β β β β β The beginners course was well paced over 6-week period and certainly worth checking out before committing to oneself to the mysore practice of Ashtanga yoga. Mike is very supportive and certainly made the practice less intimidating for a beginner like me. Thanks, Mike!

β β β β β Best yoga in Wellington. Mike is such a calm, kind, encouraging and skilled teacher. Ashtanga yoga takes a bit of getting used to but once you are used to it it's much more rewarding and you get more teacher support.

β β β β β Mike's studio has a down to earth but still respectfully spiritual approach to yoga. He is wonderful at adjustments and I also like the helpers he has on busy nights. There is a regular core of people who have been attending sessions for years and years which provides a calm supportive atmosphere and he is welcoming to those who pass through or dip in and out. There is no branding/corporate/gym/competitive feeling - instead I feel I can work hard on my own yoga practice and enjoy the practice of those around me who are more flexible, stronger or more diligent. As must be obvious, I think it is great.
