John Scott Yoga Community

Sharing the Ashtanga Yoga Teaching as transmitted by Shri K. Pattabhi Jois

A Warm Welcome from John and Julia

Our precious life here on this earth is not to work for governments,
pay taxes, have outside bodies controlling our free consciousness.

We are here to reclaim our own inner sovereignty.

To realise who we really are – free spirited beings,

manifesting the most important relationships with ourselves,

beloved ones, families, dear friends and our beautiful planet Earth

who continues to love us into existence.

Life is short – LOVE is everything.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a very dynamic, challenging, sequential asana based practice of yoga that combines the principles of Patanjali’s ashto-anga eight limbs and T Krishnamacharya and K Pattabhi Jois’s development of vinyasa – Mind Breath Movement Synchronicity, to arrive in a state of yoga – in the moment of ‘NOW’ transcended of the conditioned patterns of thought, speech and action. What is shared here is a practice, a discipline that if practiced daily, gives the student the skills to reclaim their own authority and realise how extraOrdinary they and the rest of the world really is. John Scott Yoga is not an “Authority of Yoga” but rather JSY is a community of practitioners who are exemplars of the practice, it’s challenges and benefits. The validity of their sharing is by keeping the yoga alive and contemporary through the continuation and exploration into the techniques and methods of yoga.

John’s Community

Joining John in his workshops, retreats and assisted self practices is an exploration into the deeper realms of the practice and a journey of internal discovery and reflection. The growing community of friends, apprentices, graduate teachers, teacher trainees and students is a wonderfully supportive, deeply caring and encouraging place to learn at first hand the teachings of Patanjali, Krishnamachya and Pattabhi Jois through the thoughtful and thought provoking interpretations provided by John.
