About & Operator Info

Who makes Ashtanga Shala and why, what the sequence and alignment text is based on, how the photos were made, how the site is funded, and how to reach us.

Ashtanga Shala is a self-practice guide to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga that needs no sign-up and no install. It gathers the complete Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced series in one place: entry steps, common mistakes, breath counts, drishti (gaze points), beginner modifications, and a breath-counting practice mode.

Why this site exists

Because Ashtanga repeats the same sequence every time, it is one of the few yoga systems suited to self-practice — yet the sequence, breath counts, and gaze points are scattered across many sources. This site's goal is to fit a day's practice onto one screen.

It supports ten languages and remembers your progress per pose, with an automatic breath timer for practice.

Who runs it

Ashtanga Shala is planned, built, and operated by Jinny Info Tech (representative: Choi Seongjin), business registration number 312-27-64170, at 130-13 Baekseok 3-ro, Room 612, Seobuk-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, Republic of Korea.

It has no affiliation with any studio, association, or company. Beyond advertising, users are never charged, and no paid classes or products are brokered.

Content basis and updates

Sequence order, breath counts, and drishti follow the conventions of the Ashtanga Mysore tradition descending from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. The descriptions, entry steps, alignment cues, and common mistakes are written by the operator against those conventions.

The posture photographs and the Sun Salutation clips are AI-generated images. They were created from text prompts that describe each posture, referencing study material; no one else's photograph or video frame was used. Because they are not photographs of a real person, fine details can be imperfect — where they differ, follow the written alignment cues. The outline figures are hand-drawn SVG.

Safety note

This site does not replace the direct guidance of a qualified teacher. Intermediate poses and beyond should always be learned with one.
