Ashtanga Yoga at Chi Yoga Shack
Traditional practice. Personal guidance. Quiet strength.
Our Ashtanga Yoga program offers a deeply rooted, tradition-based practice in an environment that is intimate, welcoming, and grounded. This program invites you to explore the discipline, focus, and freedom that Ashtanga Yoga brings.
Led by longtime practitioner and teacher Rich Gonshak, our Ashtanga offerings include individualized self-practice and guided Led classes, both rooted in the lineage of Mysore-style teaching. Rich studied closely with senior teacher David Garrigues, whose work emphasizes Ashtanga as a living tradition that supports physical, psychological, and spiritual growth through committed, self-reflective practice.
“Since beginning my Ashtanga practice about four months ago, I'm the strongest and most flexible I've ever been. I'm less anxious and more present.”
