Surya Ashtanga Yoga

Rooted in our centre, we find the space to grow.
Through the Earth, we feel grounded.
Through Prana, we feel alive.
Creativity is born in presence, when we are fully present, consciousness expands.

Balance is not about stillness.
It is about learning to move with life.
Grounded in the present.
Grateful for what is.
Trusting the flow, letting go.
When we become present, creativity appears everywhere and consciousness begins beyond awareness, in the space where we simply feel, observe, and are.
Stay present. Trust the flow. Find your balance.

SURYA. THIS IS THE PLACE.
Where we let go, surrender, and return to ourselves.
Where the body becomes a place of trust, and the breath brings us back to the present.
In the endless flow of time, we pause.
We listen. We simply are. Just be.

SURYA. ESTE É O LUGAR.
Onde deixamos ir, nos entregamos e regressamos a nós.
Onde o corpo se torna um lugar de confiança e a respiração nos traz de volta ao presente.
No fluxo infinito do tempo, paramos.
Escutamos. Simplesmente somos.
Apenas ser.

Taking the practice beyond the mat.
With every conscious breath, step, and movement, we learn to bring yoga into everyday life. We release what no longer serves us, making space for clarity, presence, and freedom.
One breath, one step, one moment at a time.

Let go as you are coming home to Your Self.

For me once we find the rithm of our breath in a quite healing place, we may start moving within and Seattle the mind in one direction: the present moment

UTTHITA HASTA PADANGUSTHASANA
Rooted in the earth, reaching into the sky.
In this asana, strength meets softness, stability meets freedom, and the body becomes a bridge between earth and the infinite.
Surrounded by the vastness of the ocean, we are reminded that balance is not about standing still, it is about finding our centre while remaining open to everything that moves around us.

Sometimes, the practice is simply to return to what is yours to choose: your intention and your attention.
Where you place your energy, your awareness follows.
So breathe, soften, and choose where you want to be fully present. The rest can unfold in its own time.

SIRSASANA
From this new perspective, we discover that rising does not mean leaving the earth behind. Quite the opposite, the deeper we connect with the ground, the more freely we can reach beyond ourselves.

The deeper purpose of teaching Ashtanga: not simply to master the asanas, but to allow the practice to become a path of self-knowledge where movement, breath, mind and awareness come together.
Yoga becomes a way of living, and practice becomes a way of being.
