# ASHTANGA NIRVRTA
ASHTANGA NIRVRTA offers traditional Mysore-style Ashtanga yoga guided self-practice weeks in central London, located at Westminster Quaker Meeting House near Leicester Square. Led by Philippa, a certified teacher authorised by Sharath Jois to teach all series from Primary through Advanced B, the studio specialises in small, intimate group sessions with meticulous attention to individual practice.
The business caters to experienced Ashtanga practitioners seeking structured guidance within a supportive environment. Rather than large classes, ASHTANGA NIRVRTA maintains groups of just 6-8 practitioners per time slot, enabling personalised instruction and adjustments. Multiple morning start times (7am, 8:30am, 10am) accommodate different schedules across five-day intensive weeks held every one to two months.
What sets this studio apart is its philosophy of unhurried, mindful practice. Philippa emphasises tristhana (breath, gaze, and bandhas), precise vinyasa alignment, and mental stillness over rushing through sequences. Sessions encourage questions, create a joyful atmosphere, and provide substantial teaching so practitioners can deepen their independent practice between weeks. The studio provides excellent conditions—ample space between mats, natural light, good ventilation, and rigorous hygiene standards.
The business bridges the gap between solo home practice and traditional studio settings, offering practitioners expert guidance on what to work on independently, then welcoming them back months later to progress further. This cyclical approach suits serious students committed to authentic Ashtanga methodology.
