Ashtanga
Mysore style, taught with hands-on adjustment
About
Yoga teacher, holistic physiotherapist and Thai yoga massage practitioner, teaching in Amman.
Jata teaches Mysore style Ashtanga three mornings a week, a gentle Hatha class on Wednesday evenings, and a weekly restorative class for men on Saturdays, all at Prana Space in Um Uthaina, Amman.
Alongside the classes he works one to one, combining holistic physiotherapy with Thai yoga massage, an older practice that brings together yoga, acupressure and assisted stretching.
He also runs acro yoga workshops around the city, and makes a Thai balm by hand for muscle and joint health.
What he teaches
Jata does not split the teaching from the treatment. The same understanding of how a body holds tension runs through the classes and the one to one work.

Where he teaches
