Ashtanga Yoga with Ryan Spielman

Ashtanga Yoga with Ryan Spielman
Ashtanga Yoga with Ryan Spielman RYS offers classes, workshops, retreats, private tuition, meditation and an Asthanga Yoga Teacher Training twice a year.
My skill and style as a teacher comes from a devotion to and confidence in the effectiveness of the Ashtanga system as well as a willingness to let the ideas of the practice go and allow the moment to decide what is appropriate. I am well-known for my hands-on adjustments, with an intuitive understanding of how the body moves and a real talent at getting you into those postures you never thought you would be able to do on your own. I continue to be inspired to practice the Ashtanga system as far as it will take me.
My intuition with this practice has always been to remain my own teacher. I am primarily self-taught by studying books and videos, proficient at Primary, Intermediate, Advanced A and B. I have always practiced yoga with lots of determination, attempting to discover the limits of what is possible. At the same time when my body or mind say “I’ve had enough today,” I have always been willing to be gentle with myself. In this way, yoga remains a joyous activity, forever challenging and always supportive of long term growth.
