Authorised Level 2 by Sharath Jois, Adam Keen has been practicing Ashtanga since 1999 and teaching since 2004, running a Mysore program in London for over 10 years.

After last year’s success at the Ashtanga Yoga Centre of Melbourne, we will be welcoming Adam once again, with a comprehensive workshop on a practical approach to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

Covering Breath, Mysore Practice, Led Practice, a masterclass on injury prevention, an Arm Balancing workshop and a deep dive into the Bhagavad Gita, you can choose to spend a whole weekend with Adam from January 17th to January 19th, or you can pick and choose individual days/sessions.

About our Studio

Born out of the bonds of close friendships and dedication to our traditional practice, the Ashtanga Yoga Centre offers a warm and inviting home for all of our students, whether new or established in the lineage.

Our Shala is a beautiful and serene space, used by Yogis several times a day, and humming with their energy long after they've left.

With three practice studios, honeyed real wood floors and high ceilings, we host a wide variety of classes, workshops, community and social events. Huge windows spill natural light into the main studio, making it a creative, reflective and energising space.

A communal kitchen infused with the aroma of home-brewed Chai tea has become a fond memory for Yogis around the globe as a place to share stories and experiences after practice.

Our generous space also includes changing facilities with toilets and showers, and mat storage facilities for our regular members. Visiting students can borrow practice mats, Yoga blankets, straps, blocks and bolsters to assist in their class.
