I’m a writer and musician living in Savannah, Georgia. My wife and I moved here from New York City in the fall of 2007. I created this blog to post information about Savannah’s budding Ashtanga community.There are two ways to practice Ashtanga yoga in Savannah:

1. Savannah Yoga Center offers led primary-series classes taught by Lisa Seago. Currently these are held Tuesday and Friday mornings and Tuesday evenings. See their web site for the most current schedule.

2. A dedicated group of practitioners–including my wife and I–meets pretty much daily for self-led Mysore-style practice in our homes. We welcome new folks with existing practices. If you are traveling to Savannah and want to practice while here, join us! E-mail ashtanga.savannah@gmail.com for more information on the place and times (it shifts a little).

If you’ve never practiced Ashtanga yoga before, I highly recommend it! You can learn more about this system here. Beginners should try Lisa’s led class at the Savannah Yoga Center–it’s a great way to learn the series of asanas, and Lisa is a great teacher. And several of us who practice Mysore-style are often there.

    There sure is. In fact, I just attended a workshop there. It’s called the Practice Space, and it’s run by a great teacher named Cathy Morse. The website is here:

    My wife and I are planning a visit to Savannah and were interested in teaching an Ashtanga Yoga weekend workshop. June would be the best month for us, but we are flexible.

    We have both have been practicing 12 years and teaching 8. We both traveled to India to study in Mysore as well as study intensely with our teacher Nancy Gilgoff on Maui. We have heard good things about Savannah and are interested in spending time there with intentions of relocating for teaching.

    We look forward to hearing from you. You may look at our current studio and teaching bios at yogaeastyoga.com

    Namaste
    Karen and Jason
