Ashtanga Yoga Columbus

The way this practice lets you hold yourself.

Challenge yourself.
Care for yourself.

Is unmatched.

Every day is you and you - and sometimes it’s you versus you. A higher version of you trying to usher you into the next stage of personal development.

That’s Mysore magic. And it’s unlike anything else.

Happy birthday to the one and only, .yoga !

Thank you for all that you do on and off the mat for the community. We are so grateful to have you in the room as a teacher and student.

Stay tuned for some morning classes with Hannah coming up in the next several weeks - and in the meantime make sure to celebrate her and drop her some well wishes below!

All of our love,
AYC

There is more to the practice than traditional expression of asanas.

We sometimes make this practice harder than it needs to be - fixating on a traditional expression instead of the lesson that’s unfolding before us.

There is nothing wrong with curiousity and study, of growth and learning, but when achieving a physical form becomes the priority over all else, perhaps we are missing the more important larger picture.

What if we let consistency on the mat guide the development of our practice?

If you want something new and different, you’re going to have to work for it. 

You have to be okay with getting uncomfortable.
You have to be okay with failing.

In order to get to the next level, we need to change. And it’s scary.

Sometimes we must sacrifice who we were for who we want to be.

“When you tell yourself you can’t do something, you are literally stopping yourself from being able to achieve it.

Instead of doubting yourself, believe in yourself, back yourself and honor yourself.

Stop being influenced by self doubt and fear.

You’ll begin to see that all this time, you’ve had what it takes”

-Unknown

Donation based ✨Stretch & Flow ✨is tonight! And this class is rounding out our donation class series for Alcohol Awareness Month

Explore a softer side of yoga. Not quite yin, this stretchy class is designed to allow students to relax, regulate, and release tension. This 60-minute practice will lead to holding a deep stretch for some time, allowing the body to find ease in the posture. Many of these stretches will help to compliment an ashtanga practice, but no experience is necessary. With the intention of slowing down, both breathwork and meditation may show up. Bring a yoga mat, wear comfortable clothing, and arrive at least 5 minutes prior to class start.

Link is in the bio to sign up!

CHALLENGE ALERT 🚨 challenge starts today and everyone’s invited! please join us to raise awareness and funding during alcohol awareness month! Details ⬇️

“If you’re not in the arena also getting your ass kicked, I’m not interested in your feedback.”

We show up for each other.
We keep each other accountable.
We get out asses kicked together.
We recover together.

That togetherness is what it’s all about.

We’re back on our mats on Monday!

You’re not stuck ✨
You’re just committed to certain patterns of behavior because they’ve helped you in the past. Now those patterns have become more harmful than helpful.

The reason why you can’t move forward is because you keep applying an old formula to a new level in your life.
Change the formula to get a different result.

(Did y’all miss us? We’re back, baby 😉 LFG)

Happy Birthday, AYC 🔥
9 years. Thousands of people. Countless hours of dedicated practice have happened under this roof.

So grateful for this community that continues to grow and evolve🖤

Thanks for 9 amazing years
