Ashtanga Yoga at Palestra Studio in Charlotte

At Palestra Spa & Studio, we believe in respecting yoga traditions while making them accessible to everyone. Our Ashtanga Yoga class in SouthPark Charlotte follows the roots of this powerful practice, offering a modified Half Primary Series that maintains its structure and depth while being approachable for all students.

Traditional Roots, Accessible Approach

Ashtanga has a rich history, known for its strength, focus, and discipline. At Palestra, we respect this tradition while adjusting the sequence to make it welcoming for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

Breath as the Anchor

Every movement in Ashtanga is connected with breath. This steady rhythm turns the class into a moving meditation, helping students develop presence, clarity, and focus — not just flexibility.

Repetition as a Pathway to Depth

Instead of frequently altering sequences, Ashtanga relies on repetition. Practicing the same postures regularly helps students detect subtle changes over time, strengthening both physical awareness and inner connection.

Strength and Discipline Without Rigidity

The series is reliable and consistent, but our approach is always flexible. Instruction is caring, encouraging, and adaptable, helping you discover empowerment without pressure.

Emphasis on Internal Awareness

This class isn’t about achieving “perfect” postures. Instead, Ashtanga encourages students to turn inward, using breath and movement as tools for self-discovery and presence.

A Practice of Return

In a rapidly changing world, Ashtanga provides stability. Its structure becomes something to revisit repeatedly- a touchstone of steadiness both on and off the mat.

Building Mental Resilience Through Physical Rhythm

The rhythm of the sequence develops more than just strength and flexibility. Over time, it fosters patience, focus, and determination one breath at a time.

Teachers Who Guide, Not Dictate

Although the sequence is fixed, our teachers personalize the practice. They offer modifications, adjustments, and encouragement to help each student discover their own way of expressing the practice.

Welcoming to All Levels

You don’t need to know the series beforehand. Whether it’s your first Ashtanga class or your fiftieth, we’ll meet you where you are and support your growth along the way.

A Quiet Kind of Transformation

Ashtanga is more than just a physical workout. Over time, this practice develops steadiness, resilience, and clarity that go well beyond the mat.
