Ashtanga Studio Berlin

for beginners and advanced students

School for Ashtanga Yoga since 2005 in Berlin

We are teaching traditional Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga at our studio.

What makes Mysore-style teaching special is that it is not a led, front-of-the-room class. Our teachers support each student individually and introduce the Ashtanga Yoga sequences step by step. This approach fosters an independent, personally adapted practice that you can take with you anywhere — at home or while traveling. Yoga does not only take place in the studio.

Ashtanga Yoga is suitable both for beginners who wish to be introduced to the practice gently and for more experienced practitioners who want to deepen and further develop their practice. Anyone can start Ashtanga Yoga, as there is always a way to adapt the practice. As long as you can breathe, yoga is possible.

This is why in our room, people with different levels of prior knowledge, yoga experience, and physical conditions all practice together — each at their own pace.

Our teachers have many years of teaching and practice experience. We work as a team and place great importance on knowing and understanding our students, in order to offer continuous instruction tailored to individual needs — for a sustainable, safe, and self-reliant yoga practice that can support all phases and changes of life. Ongoing professional exchange within the team ensures the quality and consistency of our teaching.

The studio was founded in 2005 by Andrea Lutz. Since 2026, Astrid Brix and Cathrin Queins, long-standing teachers at the studio, are continuing this work together, ensuring that the doors remain open to everyone who wishes to learn yoga. All teachers at our studio have studied, among others, with Andrea Lutz, Nancy Gilgoff, or Manju P. Jois and regularly continue their education.

Whether you are new to yoga, have been practicing for many years, or find yourself somewhere in between — we are looking forward to meeting you and accompanying you on your yoga path.

We are very happy to invite you in autumn to one of our Ashtanga Yoga retreats in the beautiful south of Crete. You are welcome to join the retreat for one or for two weeks.
The secluded area and the absence of main tourism, with the long beaches and untouched nature, is a perfect surrounding for our retreat.
