Welcome to Ashtanga Passion Club, a yoga space in Geneva dedicated to deepening the practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. We welcome all who want to explore the physical culture of the body and spiritual culture of the mind.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga

A dynamic method of practicing traditional Hatha Yoga asanas, where movements are synchronized with breathing. Asanas are linked into progressive series through dynamic strength transitions. Traditionally, Ashtanga Vinyasa is taught and studied through individual mentoring of a teacher to each student and is called Mysore style.

History

This method of physical culture was introduced into Indian society in the early 20th century by Tirumalai Krishnamacharya. An outstanding figure in the Renaissance of the yoga tradition in India, who is rightfully considered one of the fathers of modern yoga. Later in the years 40s of the 20th century, the method was took its modern form by K. Pattabhi Jois a student of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya. K. Pattabhi Jois was the first to establish an Institute for the Study of this method in Mysore city, India. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga quickly gained popularity among yoga practitioners all over the world and is the basis for modern power yoga trends in Western society.

Mysore style

Unlike other yoga classes where the students practice in unison, here everyone works at their own pace. Using self practice in a group setting, the Yoga teacher gives individual attention to each student according to their needs based on age, health condition, injury, flexibility, level of experience and etc. The Yoga teacher assists each student through physical adjustment and verbal instruction, ensuring a safe and sustainable practice. The room is quiet, with a focus on breathing and meditative flow

Amazing ashtanga class in a nice room with 7 people maximum which makes the class even better ! Nadia is very knowledgeable and impressive in her adjustments - you can definitely trust her and explore poses and variations that you thought you were not able to do - making you progress a bit more each time! Can’t wait to go back!

There is no teacher like Nadia. Her mysore classes are the right mix of tradition, spiritual devotion and physical precision. Nadia’s hands on adjustments are by far the best I’ve had. She has the body knowledge of her own experience and knows how to translate it to each of her students. She will meet you where you are and make you better. Nadia accompanied me before, during and after my pregnancy and I am grateful she takes me as her student.

Nadia is an amazing Ashtanga teacher. She took me from a total beginner to practicing the primary series on my own. Her teaching is a perfect mix of strength and flexibility, and she always encourages you to work with your body, not against it，grateful for her guidance and trust.
