Ashtanga Assisting Mentorship Program is a unique training opportunity designed for yoga practitioners and yoga teachers who want to deeply explore the Ashtanga method. This intensive 3-month daily program allows participants to uncover deeper levels of this practice.
Throughout the program, participants will be guided to learn and implement various skills, leading to understanding how this method works in real Mysore classes. Whether your motivation is to elevate your personal practice or to learn how to assist and eventually teach in the Mysore room, this program will help you gain a deeper understanding of the Ashtanga method and build confidence as a practitioner and teacher.

120 hours of practice in the Mysore room, guided by Tina, the founder of ROOM.
62 hours of study during weekend workshops with Tina (7 Saturdays & 1 Sunday).
