Ella Guest Teacher
Ella believes that yoga is a journey that goes far beyond the movements on the mat.
In her classes, she creates a balance between breath and movement, helping students connect more deeply with their body, mind, and inner calm.
She completed her 200-hour training in Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga in India, and brings grounding energy and a calm, steady presence to her teaching.
Ella is currently part of the VAYA Yoga Studio teaching team, where she shares her Hatha and Ashtanga-inspired practice while she’s in the area.
Description
Ashtanga Foundations is a breath-led class based on the traditional Ashtanga Primary Series.
This method follows a set sequence of postures, allowing you to return to the same shapes again and again—developing strength, focus, and a deep connection to your breath over time.
In this class, the series is taught with clear guidance and offered at a steady pace.
To make the practice accessible to all levels, supportive variations and options inspired by Hatha Yoga are provided throughout.
Whether you’re completely new to Ashtanga or revisiting it in a softer way, you’ll have the space to move with intention and build confidence in each pose.
This class honors the structure and discipline of Ashtanga, while allowing enough room to adapt the practice to your body and your day.
It’s ideal for anyone who enjoys routine, clarity, and mindful repetition as a path to strength, stability, and inner focus.
Open to all levels – beginners welcome.
