We have offered traditional Mysore-style Ashtanga Vinyasa classes in the lush environment of Koh Phangan since 2001, the first Mysore program in Thailand. Kirsten Berg and Rolf Naujokat started the program; now Kirsten runs it with partner Mitchell Gold. Kirsten and Mitchell are direct, long-term students of Sri K Pattabhi Jois; they hold his blessings and Level 2 authorization to teach (Kirsten since 1999, Mitchell since 2003). Both teachers are present during class.
