Kiki Flynn began her yoga studies in 1983 as a student in theater and dance at New York University. Living in Downtown New York as a young theater artist, she soon studied, and then taught at Jivamukti Yoga. In 1993, she first studied AshtangaYoga with Pattabhi Jois in his ground breaking classes in NYC. In 1995 she began the first of more than a dozen visits to Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India to study with Jois. Under the directive of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, she pursued Sanskrit chanting and in 1998 began her studies with Dr. M.A. Jayashree. Kiki has produced and recorded several Sanskrit chanting CDs with Dr. Jayashree and supported the growth of Jayashree’s Mysore based Sanskrit institute and her global teaching. Kiki continues her studies with Jayashree today. 

Kiki has taught Ashtanga yoga, Sanskrit chanting, and wellness workshops throughout the world. She has also specialized in therapeutic yoga for communities with spinal cord injury and MS, as well as taught many creative artists including Oscar, Emmy and Grammy award winners. In 1996 Kiki opened Ashtanga Yoga Shala in Los Angeles where she taught a Mysore program for 10 years and twice hosted Pattabhi Jois and his family. 

Kiki is passionate about The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali. The Yoga Sutra is a practical manual for embodied wisdom that is as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago. Learning and practicing the sutras by the same oral tradition they were first taught with call-and-response chanting, Śruti Parampara, is a dynamic and transformational experience of spiritual and wisdom traditions.
