Ashtanga Yoga York

I've been practicing Ashtanga yoga for 4 years when I joined Jake's classes at Ashtanga Yoga York.  I was specifically looking for a class to improve upper body and core strength. I found Jake's guidance and advice really useful in developing strength. As a personal trainer he also has a very experienced eye on posture and alignment and I love the fact he pays individual attention to each student and provides specific instructions. His adjustments have made a significant improvement in my practice- especially in terms of correct alignment and  strength. AYY is a great place for both beginners and experienced practitioners looking to further their practice. It also has a great community and lots of social activities like coffee mornings and meals out.

I'm absolutely thrilled Jake has established Ashtanga Yoga York...I can now practice in the city centre instead of travelling to Leeds! Jake is a committed and knowledgeable teacher with a sense of humour - something that can be lacking in Yoga but that is essential in my view :)I feel really lucky that I can practice regularly early in the morning as well as having the option of evening classes as these are sometimes difficult to fit in around work. It's the best way to start the day!

It's truly a privilege to have a space dedicated to Mysore Self practice right here in York. Being part of this community is uplifting. Jake stands out as a devoted Ashtanga teacher, displaying a deep understanding of both the practice and human anatomy. His adjustments are both intuitive and beneficial. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned yogi, I wholeheartedly recommend Jake's exceptional Ashtanga classes and morning Mysore sessions. They offer an unparalleled environment for practice and personal growth.

I've never been the most active guy, but since I've joined Ashtanga Yoga York I've started to feel the benefit of working out regularly. I'm seeing improvements in both flexibility and posture, thanks to Jake's help in achieving the best form in my poses!

Absolutely fantastic. Was visiting the city and decided to go at a Mysore style class, my first one ever. Jake knew I was only visiting and a beginner but spend so much time in the class giving me advice. The amount of support and advice he gave all of the attendees was incredible, cannot recommend highly enough.

The depth of Jake’s knowledge is evident in class. His attention to each person’s practice in line with his expertise and corrections mean that you vastly improve in yoga which has a positive impact in other areas of fitness and life in general. Ashtanga yoga york has a great community spirit with different types of fun socials throughout the year.

Jake is an amazing Ashtanga Yoga teacher and a Personal Trainer. He always encourages you towards a regular practice and helps you a lot you if you are making any mistakes. He has created a wonderful community of Ashtanga yoga practicioners in York. His experience in personal training also means he can bring a holistic approach to Yoga.He has Ashtanga Mysore yoga classes and Led classes spreadout in few locations in central York during early morning, evening and weekends - so you can choose what suits you. He also has a beginners yoga course and holds few weekend workshops with world leading experts.

It is fantastic being part of Ashtanga Yoga York. Jake is a great teacher and has created a wonderful community. I am so pleased I can practice Ashtanga Yoga in York, both Mysore and led classes. I would highly recommend for beginners and experienced yogis alike!
