Say what now?
I’m expected to learn the sequence and guide myself?!? If you’re both inspired and intimidated 😂by Ashtanga, this episode is for you! Notoriously known for being athletic, dynamic, and rigid, this practice has its die hard followers and critics. Today’s guest, Christiane, tells us how to find flexibility, adaptability, and accessibility in this set sequence.

In this episode, we chat about:
🌴 Our chance encounter in Bali that sparked a lasting teaching connection
🧘🏽‍♀️ What self-practice actually looks like—and how the Mysore method flips the typical class format
👀 How holding space for self-practice feels radically different than leading a led class
🧹 Clearing up common Ashtanga misconceptions (yes, even that one)
🤲🏼 Where hands-on assists come from in this lineage—and how to learn them with integrity🌀 The myth of rigidity—how to truly adapt Ashtanga to your life, body, and season
💡 The approach Manju Jois brings to the table—and why it feels more spacious than you might expect
👶🏼 What it looks like to juggle motherhood and Mysore rooms—sometimes literally at the same time

Whether you’re keen to try this style of practice as a student or hear what it’s like to teach in this way, this episode offers valuable insight into how to tailor it to meet everyone’s needs.
