Frequently Asked Questions:
01.
What is Ashtanga?
Ashtanga Yoga is a highly effective system of yoga originating in Mysore, India. It's straightforward design and emphasis on skill competency allows for individual development not often found in commercial yoga.
The straightforward nature of the sequence makes it easy to adapt for your own needs: whether it be preha, rehab, or training.
Practitioners learn the easy-to-follow sequenceWe teach practitioners the sequence to create and manage a sequence designed specifically for them
02.
What is Functional Range Conditioning?
Functional Range Conditioning (FRC®) utilizes the latest advancements in scientific knowledge, combined with tried and tested training methods to increase ones active, useable ranges of motion by simultaneously improving articular mobility, strength/resilience, and neurological control. In essence, this invaluable, and innovative training system improves the ability to control, and move ones own body.
03.

On top of our pre-recorded studio-style class videos, we also offer monthly posture clinics on rotating posture categories.
04.
How are You Different?
We offer a flipped classroom mode for teaching Ashtanga Yoga and Functional Movementl that is learner-focused.
Instead of teaching everyone the same thing at the same time, we leverage pre-recorded classes, tutorials, and readings. These self-paced courses encourage competeny and autonomy.
05.
What is Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga?
The flipped classroom/mastery model isn't new. It's how Ashtanga yoga was originally taught-- and its how we continue to teach it today.
Practitioners are responsibile for memorizing a sequence so that they can practice autonomously. With that foundation, students can come into a space and practice at their own pace and in their own way, receiving assistance and feedback from an expert teacher.

Reviews
The individualized instruction of the Mysore style is ideal, since no two bodies or practitioners are alike. Michael is an excellent guide through this great yoga tradition, whether you're a newbie, a levitate-off-the-mat master, or somewhere in the vast in-between; and DC Ashtanga is a wonderful community in which to learn this tradition.
