About us

Nico and Tullia met in Mysore in 2013 and travel back to practice with the Jois family regularly. Since 2015 we’ve taught at studios in Malmö, Copenhagen and Lund. When our children arrived in 2021 we stopped teaching evenings and weekends and hold morning home practice instead.

About you

Anyone can practice. Young one can practice. Old one can practice. Very old one can practice. One who is sick, they can practice. One who doesn’t have strength can practice. Except lazy people; lazy people can’t practice Ashtanga yoga.” ~ K. Pattabhi Jois.

This space is for people who already have an Ashtanga self‑practice and enjoy the rhythm of early mornings. It’s for you who values tradition, simplicity, and consistency, and who would appreciate a small, local community.

Practical details

We are super open to let the shala evolve based on who comes and what works. We love teaching but don’t want to run a studio and there will be no instatok. Please get in touch and let us know what you think. We answer emails on Tuesday afternoons at ashtangafolk@gmail.com.
