The Colorado Ashtanga Lineage
Boulder has a rich Ashtanga history thanks to Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor at The Yoga Workshop. Our own Elizabeth Van Genderen completed both Richard Freeman's month-long Intensive and Advanced Intensive, bringing that same attention to detail and philosophical depth to our Denver studio.
While Boulder's yoga scene has evolved, we maintain a dedicated space for traditional Mysore practice—the method as it's taught in Mysore, India.
Why Boulder Practitioners Drive to Denver
Dedicated Shala
A space devoted entirely to Ashtanga practice—not a fitness studio offering yoga classes. The energy of a dedicated shala is different.
KPJAYI Authorization
Both teachers hold Level 2 Authorization from Sharath Jois—the traditional credential from the source. Elizabeth can teach Full Intermediate Series.
Daily Mysore Program
Monday through Friday Mysore classes. Build consistency with a regular morning practice in a supportive community.
Richard Freeman Trained
Elizabeth completed Richard Freeman's intensive trainings. Expect the same precision and philosophical grounding Boulder practitioners appreciate.

"I was looking for a true Mysore program after The Yoga Workshop changed. The drive from Boulder is worth it—the teaching quality and shala atmosphere are exactly what I was missing."
Your Teachers
For Serious Practitioners
If you're practicing beyond Primary Series or seeking authorization-track guidance, Elizabeth can provide instruction through the Intermediate Series. Our studio maintains the traditional approach where new poses are given when you're ready, not on a fixed schedule.
