  • Do you provide yoga mats and/or props?
    It is best to carry your own mat and props(if you need them) for hygiene reasons. Gofindyourself Yoga does not provide mats or props. In case you do not have a yoga mat, please inform Jyotsna 1 day prior so she can try and organise it for you.
  • What should I bring to class with me?
    1. A clean yoga mat that cushions your joints well & doesn't leave crumbs on the floor. 2. Yoga towel/cotton mat/yoga rug if you tend to sweat and your mat gets slippery. 3. A small towel to wipe off the sweat. 4. Bottle of water. 5. A case for your spectacles if you wear them & would like to take them off mid-practice. Placing them next to your mat is not the best idea. 6. An open mind.
  • What should I wear? Is there a dress-code or guidelines?
    - Modest dressing is a way of showing respect to the teacher and the Shala. Wear something comfortable to practice in, but also keep in mind that it should not distract others practising around you. Wearing a top is mandatory even for men. - Avoid perfumes, deodorants and other cosmetics while practising since it can distract other students when practising. Instead, a shower before practice is a great way to feel fresh & prepare the body for movement. - Avoid excessive body lotion/oil as it may make your practice slippery when you sweat. - Avoid wearing jewellery (bangles, anklets..etc) that might clink or jingle during practice.
  • What is Ashtanga yoga?
    The Ashtanga style of asana practice is a dynamic practice that synchronizes breath with a progressive series of postures to create internal heat and purify the body.
  • What sets Ashtanga apart from other styles of asana practice?
    Ashtanga follows a specific sequence of postures that form each series (Primary, Intermediate, Advanced A&B) and, the practitioner moves through each series progressively. The sequence is designed to build strength, flexibility, and mental focus through a disciplined practice. In our classes we will focus on the Primary Series through Repetition, structure & deep exploration. Want to know why you sholuld practice Ashtanga for a better life?
  • Can beginners join Ashtanga classes, or is it only for experienced practitioners?
    Beginners are welcome to join Ashtanga classes. We recommended starting with our introductory program to have a basic understanding of the practice and philosophy.
  • What should I expect in your Ashtanga class?
    In a typical class, we move through a set sequence of poses, starting with Sun Salutations and ending with seated postures, inversions and relaxation. The Primary Series will be our focus. Expect to be challenged and yet have fun while working hard! :)
  • I'm not flexible, can I practice Yoga?
    Yes! Yoga is not about being able to touch your toes, it is about what you learn on your way there. Flexibility varies from person to person; it will develop over time and with consistent practice. In our classes, the primary focus is on the breath. We will also focus on other aspects including and not limited to strength, mobility & mindful movement.
  • What if I have injuries or physical limitations? Can I still practice Ashtanga yoga?
    Yes! Please inform Jyotsna of your injuries and physical limitations if any and she can provide you the right modifications to accommodate your needs. There is something for everyone in this practice. Come as you are!
  • Any tips before I attend a class?
    The best practice is one with comfort & no distractions. Please arrive 5-10min early & sit in silence. I've shared class etiquette & guidelines that you can go through to have an immersive experience. You'll find this in the FAQ section on the top menu.
