At Astanga Yoga Ottawa, we are more than just a yoga studio - we are a community of individuals who share a passion for the transformative power of yoga. For over a decade, our studio has been dedicated to sharing the ancient practice of Astanga Vinyasa Yoga, as taught by the legendary K. Pattabhi Jois. Our story began over 15 years ago, when our founder, Janice DeFilippi, made her first trip to Mysore, India to study with the father of Ashtanga Yoga himself, R. Sharath Rangaswamy.
Our Teachers
Our teaching team is comprised of experienced practitioners who have spent years studying and practicing Ashtanga Yoga. Many of our teachers have spent extended periods of time in Mysore, India, where they have deeply immersed themselves in the tradition and learned from the lineage holders. Our teachers are committed to honoring the traditional teachings of Ashtanga Yoga, while also bringing their own unique perspectives and teaching styles to the practice.
