this is the place where i learned ashtanga yoga!
how…read moregrateful am i to have started here!
Farzad, the owner is a great teacher that connects strongly to the tradition of ashtanga yoga.
in yoga Mitte you have mysore classes in the morning and afternoon, and also LED classes or classes for ashtanga beginners to choose from, occasionally there are class like yoga for the back or other things, the schedule is at the reception and if you don't want to go in or the door is closed crap one from outside!
the mysore classes in the morning are mainly small and Farzad has a very good eye for assisting you! he is one of the yoga teachers that has a strong hand and leads you towards a point you really want to get to. he regularly goes to workshops with great other teachers( lilo mile) and keeps himself up to date. his other teachers are great also, they are all specialists in their kind of yoga, claudia for example worked in montreal with joanne and darby.
when we still lived in Germany we were at yoga Mitte a lot, also for social events, like movie nights or just anniversaries, its nice to get together with the people you practice with , as in ashtanga yoga there is not much talking , if any in class!
you can take a shower after class and rent a towel for 2 euro so no need to drag stuff around, matts are also available.
Farzads wife offers also massage in a beautiful room, but i never tried that!
there are two yoga rooms with cork floor and a little reception, two dressing rooms with lockers and two bathrooms.
there is a parking garage right across the street but i don't recommend coming with a car( although if you go for Mysore practice at 6am you don't have to pay the meters till 8am) there is a underground station literally 1 minute away, ( stadtmitte, or rotebuehlplatz) and its just so easy to walk there from the station.
the place is in the center( like THE CENTER) of stuttgart and after yoga you can surly grab a coffee or something to eat close bye!
i wish we would have an ashtanga place like this close to where i am, i would advance soooo quick!
