AshtangaNews

Ashtanga yoga is probably the best represented style of yoga on the Internet; this may have to do with the types of personalities it attracts… Here is an overview of Ashtanga Yoga resources on the web:

Sri K. Pattabhis Jois’ Ashtanga Yoga Reseach Institute in Mysore, India is the official website of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and the Ashtanga vinyasa system.
This is the place to go first.

Sharath Rangaswamy, Pattabhis Jois’ grandson and the Assistant Director of AYRI, also has a website. Here you can find information about practicing with Sharath, his workshops and bio. I think it’s definitely one of the best looking websites about Ashtanga.

Ashtanga.com: the main resource for authorized and certified teachers and their classes and workshops. Also, has a good selection of articles plus has an online store with a well-picked selection of Ashtanga products.

For sets of photos of the Ashtanga series (1st through 4th), we like AshtangaYoga.info, the site of German teacher Arjuna.

Ashtangi.net features many, many blogs from Ashtanga students. In particular, many students practicing in Mysore, India write blogs here. Useful, if you’re thinking of going to Mysore.

I like the writings of a couple particularly thoughtful Ashtangis: Alan Little and Ross Settles. We’ve linked to other blogs we like on our blogroll (in the sidebar to the right).

For online groups, two Yahoo groups have very large membership, so that’s where we go: AshtangaYoga and Shala.

And, finally, there’s AshtangaNews.com!
