Ashtanga Yoga
Our Ashtanga program follows the traditional Mysore-style practice with personalized instruction. Students learn the Primary Series' Vinyasa counts and technical foundations under authorized teachers. The practice combines breathwork, postures, and meditation to cultivate physical strength and mental clarity. This structured approach suits practitioners seeking consistent progress through daily practice.
Teacher Training
The 1-month Ashtanga Practitioners Intensive prepares students for yoga as a lifestyle and potential profession. Participants learn Sanskrit Vinyasa counting, anatomy, and yoga philosophy while establishing a daily practice. The curriculum meets Yoga Alliance RYT 200-hour standards while maintaining traditional Indian teachings. This program emphasizes personal transformation over certification.
Yoga Retreats
International retreats combine yoga practice with cultural immersion in locations like Mexico's Xinalani eco-sanctuary. Programs include daily Mysore practice, workshops, and guided meditation in natural settings. Participants experience traditional yoga while connecting with nature through jungle and beach environments. Retreats emphasize community building and personal growth.
Private Sessions
One-on-one yoga sessions provide tailored instruction for individual needs and goals. Available in 60 or 90-minute formats, these sessions focus on proper alignment, injury prevention, and personalized practice development. Private instruction benefits both beginners seeking foundational skills and advanced practitioners refining complex postures.
Vinyasa Yoga
Our Vinyasa classes emphasize smooth transitions between postures synchronized with breath. This dynamic practice builds strength and flexibility while maintaining traditional yoga principles. Classes incorporate creative sequencing while preserving the lineage's authenticity. The practice accommodates various skill levels through accessible modifications.

I love Miami yoga Garage, it is like an oasis to disconnect from everything. I live a little bit far, but I do the effort to drive to Miami just to have the opportunity to meet with amazing yogis that I admire. Definitely recommend as a great place that you feel as being with family.

Patricia helped me transform my yoga practice by guiding me to challenge myself. This way, I am more dedicated to a daily routine. She has an expert way of teaching (even virtually) and is truly gifted.

Just finished the 2 month online intensive with Miami Life Center (Miami yoga garage)! This course was one of the most comprehensive and beautiful experiences I have had during my Ashtanga journey. We participated in real time chanting with Jayashree, learned extensive yoga anatomy with the esteemed and funny Tim Feldman, breathing practices with Monica, techniques and alignment with Esme, history and philosophy with Joseph, and under the watchful eyes of Patty we delved deeper into our mysore practice. If you want a complete course taught by well versed teachers of the Ashtanga method.this is the course for you!

Miami has more to offer beyond beach and sunshine, and MLC/Miami Yoga Garage is what called me to the city. One of the best ashtanga shalas in the world with dedicated traditional teaching style, a wide selection of class times including daily Mysore, and many smiley faces that supports and encourages each other's growth. It also carries beautiful products from all over the world where you can immerse yourself in your treasure hunt. Shower, drinking water, mat sprays, and props are available.
