# Cambridge Ashtanga Yoga
Cambridge Ashtanga Yoga is a community-focused studio offering traditional ashtanga yoga instruction in Cambridge CB5 8DT. Run by siblings Ricky and Tara, the studio specializes in teaching this classical yoga practice through both structured classes and self-directed practice sessions.
The studio serves beginners through experienced practitioners at the University Centre Main Hall. Their approach is notably inclusive: complete novices can access a free four-session Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga course, whilst experienced practitioners benefit from Mysore-style classes where students move through the primary series at their own pace with personalized instruction and hands-on adjustments.
What distinguishes Cambridge Ashtanga Yoga is their commitment to individualized teaching within a community setting. Rather than one-size-fits-all instruction, each student receives guidance tailored to their body and breath. The teachers prioritize consent-based adjustments, explicitly encouraging students to decline physical assists without explanation—reflecting a modern, respectful approach to yoga instruction.
The studio also fosters a unique self-practice community, recognizing that ashtanga's set sequence makes it ideal for independent practice. Their drop-in sessions create a supportive environment where practitioners can work through poses at their own rhythm whilst benefiting from collective energy.
With teachers trained at respected institutions (Astanga Yoga London and Rishikesh), Cambridge Ashtanga Yoga offers authentic instruction grounded in traditional methodology, but delivered with contemporary awareness of accessibility, consent, and inclusive community building.
