Asta Caplan workshop June 5 -7, 2026
Asta discovered Ashtanga Yoga in 1998 while still in training as a professional ballet dancer, and she has been a dedicated practitioner ever since. In 2012, she received Level 2 Authorization to teach Ashtanga from Sharath Jois, grandson of Pattabhi Jois, the founder of the method. Over the years, Asta has studied extensively with many respected teachers, including Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Jois, Manju Jois, Eddie Stern, Tim Miller, Mark and Joanne Darby, Rolf Naujokat, Lino Miele, Philippa Asher, Harmony Slater, Petri Räisänen, and Louise Ellis. She completed her teacher training with Sharath Jois in Mysore in 2014 and, in 2015, attended a 3rd Series teacher training with Tim Miller in California.
Asta believes a yoga shala should be an inclusive, safe space for self-discovery. Her teaching approach gives students a complete view of the Ashtanga practice, building individual stepping stones to help them develop their own sustainable routines.
