Mysore-style Ashtanga Goes Public this Spring in Savannah

Savannah Ashtangis are bringing our practices out of our homes and into the world. We’ve rented a space, and, beginning March 1 (this Saturday), we’ll be practicing on Saturdays from 10-12 at the Walker Mansion (off Forsyth Park). The majority of the folks in the room with be Ashtangis practicing mysore-style. And there will be others there, as well, doing their own self-practice and seeing what Ashtanga is all about. Lisa Seago will be adjusting and helping those who want to learn the first series. The cost can’t be beat: $20 a month (that’s a mere 5 bucks per session).  We’ll be doing this for two months, March and April, to see how it flies.

If you’ve been loving Lisa’s led class at the Savannah Yoga Center and want to see what the whole practice is about, this is a great low-pressure way to check it out.

If you’re interested in joining, contact Lisa Seago or send me an email. Because of limited space, we must discourage drop-ins. Please send us a note in advance and let us know you’re coming.

Mysore-style Ashtanga Self-Practice in Savannah, GA

Hi. I created this blog to post information about Savannah, Georgia’s budding Ashtanga community.

Currently, 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.
