Choosing a place to practice isn't choosing a schedule or a class. It's entering a way of transmitting, listening to the body, studying over time.
Jean-Claude Garnier has been teaching since 1974, in direct transmission received from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Fifty years of practice and transmission.
Osteopathy, Chinese medicine, philosophy, psychology: a reading of body and mind that studios don't offer.
Every student receives, even in a group class, precise postural corrections. The posture adapts to the body, not the other way around.
We transmit, we don't sell. Assumed refusal of marketing, "instagrammable" yoga and quick promises.
Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, everyone enters the practice from wherever they are.
Six voices of practitioners and teachers sharing, in their own way, what the Institute has brought them.
Classes, intensives, seminars, journeys and training aren't products. They form a coherent path each person walks at their own pace.

Yes. The Ashtanga – Foundations classes are designed to introduce you progressively to the Primary Series while establishing the essential foundations of the practice.
No. Practice begins with your body exactly as it is, with its strengths, limitations and possibilities. Flexibility develops over time — it is not a prerequisite. What matters most is consistency and mindful attention.
You are welcome to join the next scheduled class — simply arrive a few minutes early to introduce yourself. If it is your first time, we recommend getting in touch beforehand, as this is often the best place to start.
Our teaching combines the rigour of traditional Ashtanga Yoga with an in-depth understanding of the human body (anatomy, osteopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine), as well as a philosophical approach to practice. This is a tradition of transmission, not a service.
One to three times a week, depending on your level, your availability and where you are in your practice. Your teacher will help you find the right rhythm — one that becomes sustainable without exhausting you.
