Traditional Ashtanga Yoga Shala Phuket

Traditional Ashtanga Yoga Shala Phuket (TAYSP) teaches from the clubhouse of the Land & House Park estate in Chalong, in the south of the island. It is a dedicated Ashtanga shala rather than a general studio, and it suits visitors who already have a practice and want to keep it going while in Phuket.

Mysore-style self-practice runs Monday to Friday from 7:30am, with a teacher adjusting and guiding each student through the series at their own pace. On Saturday there is a led primary series class for experienced practitioners. Sundays and moon days are rest days. The shala also offers pranayama and meditation, and runs 200- and 300-hour Ashtanga teacher trainings.

A walk-in Mysore session costs ฿600. Five classes cost ฿1,800 and ten cost ฿2,900, both valid for about a month, and a month of unlimited practice is ฿4,000. The doors close at 8am, so arrive before then. It is inside a gated estate: turn off Chaofa Road just before Wat Tai, sign in at the security post and drive to the clubhouse.
