Gérald Disse and Linda Munro who are senior teachers founded Ashtanga Yoga Paris in 2004. Gérald started yoga in 1989 and Linda in 1995. They specialize in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and train their own team of teachers to assure a high level of quality, coherent, intelligent and compassionate teaching. We teach Ashtanga Yoga in the traditional way, called Mysore Style, as well as led Ashtanga classes for all levels.

In addition, we offer Vinyasa classes, which is also a dynamic system of yoga āsanas deriving from Ashtanga, Yin Restorative yoga for those who prefer a practice more static and classes of Pranayama (specific breathing exercises).

Ashtanga Yoga is a traditional form of yoga which was taught by Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. Linda and Gerald were the first in Paris to establish an Ashtanga school which offered a full program of Mysore style classes. Linda started teaching traditional morning Mysore in Paris in 2002 and when Gerald moved to Paris from India (where he was one of the first French men to be a direct student of Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois with whom he studied 8 years) they established Ashtanga Yoga Paris in 2004. They now offer a complete program of Ashtanga for all levels from beginners to advanced and a team of inspiring and skilled teachers whom they’ve trained over the years. We approach the Ashtanga Yoga practice in a unique way, paying close attention to alignment in order to do the postures safely with a profound inner awareness. This adds a wellness aspect to the yoga where one can learn to take care of themselves; helping to correct previous injuries, mend emotional wounds or simply maintain a healthy body and mind.

You can find them in Paris at 40 avenue de la Republique or at a workshop in other cities.
