Ashtanga Yoga Atlanta is known as Atlanta’s original traditional Ashtanga Yoga shala, dedicated to authentic practice as taught by the yoga masters of Mysore, India. The shala offers classes for all levels, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners, including regularly scheduled 4-week Beginner Courses and Mysore style and Primary Series Led classes. Led by Todd Roderick, the most experienced Ashtanga teacher in the Southeast and a direct student of Sri K. Pabbabhi Jois, the studio provides personalized instruction and adjustments. Visitors, including travelers, find the shala welcoming, with mats available for those without their own. Many consider AYA the best and most serious place to study Ashtanga Yoga in Atlanta, emphasizing tradition and dedicated teaching.

I have had an on and off yoga practice for years, but this practice has altered me both physically and mentally. The work is hard, and it demands more than you think you have, but the sense of accomplishment is unparalleled. Todd is amazing at knowing...read full review
