Instructor: Monica Gullickson

Note: On Monday 4/20, this class will be led by Shraddha Jois, Sharath Jois’ daughter.

The Active Series was developed by Sharath Jois and derived from a traditional Ashtanga Yoga practice. It retains all the benefits of the traditional method keeping the linking of movement with breath but includes new more accessible postures for a wider range of students in a modern age and setting. Students from all levels will be able to participate in a non-intimidating inclusive setting. Classes are open to all.
