Active Series Ashtanga

The Essence of Ashtanga, Made Accessible to everyone.

Active Series is a modern and accessible approach to Ashtanga Yoga, developed by Sharath Jois. It offers the essence of the traditional practice—movement, breath, and focus in flow—in a format designed to be sustainable and realistic in everyday life.

Astanga Yoga Studio is home to Denmark’s only officially authorized Active Series teacher, ensuring instruction that is directly rooted in the original method and tradition.

This is not a practice about perfection. It is about showing up, moving the body, and creating meaningful change in both body and mind.

Who is Active Series for?

Active Series captures the essence of Ashtanga, but has modified the traditional practice to be more accessible and adaptable to different bodies and stages of life.

Active Series is for you who:

  • want to start yoga but feel unsure where to begin
  • have a physically demanding job and need balance and recovery
  • are an athlete looking for mobility, flexibility and restitution
  • experience stiffness, tension, or blockages in the body
  • have low energy and don’t thrive in intense training
  • already practice yoga but want a more sustainable approach
  • want a practice that is realistic to maintain
  • wish to strengthen the body in a gentle, intelligent way

A simple practice with a powerful effect

Active Series combines selected elements from the first and second series of Ashtanga Yoga into a simplified and balanced structure. You work with breath, movement, and focus in a steady flow that gradually builds strength, stability, and awareness.

You don’t need to be fit to start—you become fit by showing up.
