We are dedicated, direct students of Sri K.Pattabhi Jois. We usually spend 3-4 months studying with Sri KP Jois and his grandson Sharath Rangaswamy in Mysore, India; the rest of the year we teach in Bali, Koh Phangan (S. Thailand) and in the USA.

Kirsten began exploring yoga asana in India in 1993. She studied with yogi Clive Sheridan,  and at the Iyengar Yoga Study Center in Rishikesh with Rudra Dev. Heather Duplex and Rolf Naujokat introduced her to ashtanga and since 1997, Kirsten has been a student of Sri K.P. Jois, aka “Guruji”. She  received  Guruji’s blessing/authorization to teach in 1999, and is one of few women in the world currently learning the Advanced ‘A’ series under his and Sharath’s guidance. She taught with Rolf Naujokat for 5 years; in 2001  they started the seasonal ashtanga classes on Koh Phangan, Thailand.

Mitchell  first came to India in 1979 to deepen his knowledge of meditation and contemplative movement. After many years of searching for the right practice, he found ashtanga yoga  in 2000, and has been a dedicated practitioner ever since; he received Guruji’s authorization to teach in 2003. Mitchell also studied intensively with Dena Kingsberg in Australia for 3 years.
