Philippa Asher

Philippa Asher is one of a few Ashtanga yoga practitioners in the world, and the only British woman, to be certified by Sri K Pattabhi Jois to teach the Ashtanga yoga method in his tradition. She learned the Primary, Intermediate, Advanced A and Advanced B Series directly from Pattabhi Jois and Sharath, at the Krishna Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India. She shares the Ashtanga yoga system internationally, in studios and on retreats, and also online, in Sanskrit counted led classes and one-to-ones.

Philippa’s approach to sharing yoga asana, from beginners to more seasoned practitioners, is serious yet light-hearted and joyful. Her emphasis is on good technique, safe alignment, the synchronisation of Vinyasa (Sanskrit counted, coordinated moving and breathing sequences) with tristhana (alignment of breath, gaze points and movement), passing on the exact method as taught by Pattabhi Jois from the late 1990s and embracing the essence of Patanjali’s sutras on yoga and asana.
