Ashtanga Yoga Mysore and Ayurveda Las Vegas — Local services in Spring Valley

Updating my review after 2 fabulous years of practice at this shala.

Hands down the absolute best place to practice yoga in Vegas. The teachers/ owners Carrie and Jen bring such a wealth of knowledge on the traditional practice of Ashtanga Yoga, Mysore style. They both have devoted their life to this practice, making yearly pilgrimages to India to study, and committing to learning about the yogic philosophy and Ayurveda which they share with us generously. Mysore-style classes are unique in that they are not "led" like a typical American style yoga class. Rather, the experience is something like having a personal trainer. You are given postures a handful or one at a time directly by the teacher who works with each student individually; this is the traditional way yoga is taught. As someone who practiced yoga in different styles for 15+ years, I can say I have had more progress in my physical practice here BY FAR than in any other method. Hand-in-hand with that has been incredible benefits for the mind, heart, soul and overall health and well-being. Don't be shy! Come join us!

PREVIOUS REVIEW MAR. 2023: What a special place and a special practice! I have been practicing yoga for many years and this place is one of the most special I've found. The Ashtanga Mysore practice is absolutely worth exploring to build strength, flexibility, and - most important - headspace! The teachers Jen & Carrie are so lovely - encouraging, professional, and challenging you in every way! They truly live and breathe this practice, know it deeply, and take their work as teachers with utmost sincerity. Everything is tailored to the individual which makes it incredibly unique compared to other methods/ studios. I couldn't recommend it...

Becoming a student of the Ashtanga lineage, I discovered I was embarking on a journey of self-discovery. The practice here is true to the ancient roots of Ashtanga yoga, as recorded by Vamana Rishi in the Yoga Korunta and popularized by the great Shri. K. Pattabhi Jois. This shala is a sanctuary where practice and philosophy merge, guiding students through postures and breath with an emphasis on the eight limbs of yoga. The instructors, Carrie and Jen are knowledgeable, compassionate, and deeply committed to guiding each student on their personal path. The sense of community and shared dedication to the practice is palpable, making every morning a moving meditation, and simultaneously a step towards personal growth and inner peace. For anyone looking to practice Ashtanga in its most authentic form in Las Vegas, I cannot recommend Ashtanga & Ayurveda Las Vegas enough. It's more than just a yoga shala; it's a transformative experience that...

I had the pleasure of attending the beginner's Ashtanga yoga class over the course of four weeks, and it was an incredible experience. The class was led by two amazing teachers, Carrie and Jen, who were both knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging.

Throughout the course, Carrie and Jen provided clear and concise instructions on the fundamentals of the Ashtanga practice, while also offering modifications and adjustments to accommodate the needs of each student. They created a warm and welcoming environment where everyone felt comfortable to ask questions and explore the practice at their own pace.

I was amazed by how much progress I made in just four weeks. Carrie and Jen's guidance and support helped me to deepen my understanding of the practice and develop a strong foundation for my future Ashtanga practice. The class was challenging, but also incredibly rewarding, and I felt more centered and grounded after...
