About Ashtanga Yoga Space

Fiona has been practising yoga for 20 years. In 1998, Fiona left a successful career in advertising to spend 4 months with a Guruji in India. There she discovered her passion for teaching yoga and after further training with many internationally renowned teachers, in 2005 she started teaching the Ashtanga yoga method in Sydney and opened Ashtanga Yoga Space.

Today, the school has 2,350 active members and a very strong teaching network, of 6 main teachers each with a minimum of 10 years teaching experience and has been featured as one of the ‘Top yoga schools of the world’.

The Ashtanga Yoga School offers a range of courses suitable for absolute beginners, guided led programs (for those who are more advanced), yoga appreciation classes (for those who want to take their yoga appreciation to a deeper level and discover more about the practice), ‘inner circle classes’ (timed to align with school drop off and pick up, these classes are especially for mums, allowing for social interaction and a coffee after practice) and luxury yoga retreats.

Ashtanga Yoga Giveaway

Fiona has also graciously given an AWESOME giveaway.

Two lucky Mojito Mother listeners/ readers will win an introductory series of Ashtanga yoga beginner classes (valued at $220 per person) running for 4 weeks.
