Ashtanga Yoga Zurich

Esperienza fantastica: After living in places without Ashtanga studios nearby and being limited to my self-prwctice or online classes, it was such a joy to find this wonderful little studio in the heart of Zurich. Just a couple of minutes away from Kreuzplatz, Ashtanga Yoga Zurich provides a welcoming space for students of all levels. Nassera, the teacher, has old school grit, honoring the methodology and spirit of the Ashtanga practice, but also has the flexibility of a modern approach, not forcing the student into a dogmatic belief system in the practice and providing a safe space for the student to find their own way forward.

Esperienza fantastica: Ashtanga Yoga ist seit längerem mein Yogastil der Wahl, da es meditativ und gleichzeitig körperlich fordernd ist. Nassera ist eine sehr erfahrene Lehrerin, die einen im Unterricht auf jedem Level abholen und weiterbringen kann. Dazu hat sie eine sehr bodenständige und herzliche Art, ich habe mich bei ihr im Unterricht von Anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt. Ich bin froh, ihre Shala in Zürich gefunden zu haben und kann sie wärmstens weiterempfehlen :)

Esperienza fantastica: i’ve been practicing in AYZ since i moved to Zurich 7 years ago. It became like my second home, a place i love to go to whenever i need to get grounded, find my peace and experience a real ashtanga yoga. Nassera is such a dedicated teacher. She is demanding but with a lot of humour:) She changed my practice focusing on building my strength, she helped me adjust through my pregnancy. When i was out of babysitting options, she welcomed me with my daughter as well as with my dog. I recommend AYZ and practicing with Nassera to everyone.

Esperienza fantastica: Amazing teacher, super dedicated, experienced (lots of advice on mobility and recovery from injuries as well), humble, warm, and multilingual. Intimate, authentic studio. A great place to practice and learn at all levels, friendly and non-judgmental atmosphere.

Esperienza fantastica: I have been a student at this yoga Shala for 10 years and it has been the best thing for my body and mind! Nassera teaches from the heart and has a very good background in yoga philosophy but also physiology and anatomy. She is able to adjust the practice for any body, any age, any injuries, so that her students can practice safely and progress at their own speed. Her Shala is a cosy little space, clean and friendly, very central and with a great selection of practice times. I can only recommend!

Esperienza fantastica: I know Nassera since over 10 years and I hope she will be my teacher for life. Bina I know since few months and she is also a great teacher. Nassera's way of teaching is extremely professional, empathic and full of joy and positive energy. Before meeting Nassera I thought during yoga laughing is not "allowed", but here it is different and makes me fell so good. Nassera and Bina show me that they care about me and they really want that I progress and continue developing. Thank you for everything and. hats down!

Esperienza fantastica: Ashtanga Yoga wie man es sich wünschen kann mit toller Atmosphäre! Die Lehrerinnen Nassera und Bina sind erfahren und immer für einen da.

Esperienza fantastica: Une prof très attentive aux besoins de ses élèves, une belle ambiance, on se sent bien accueilli et pris en charge.

Esperienza fantastica: kleines studio, bunt gemischte gruppen und eine tolle lehrerin! es wird hart gearbeitet, aber auch viel gelacht!

Esperienza fantastica: Super Sache :)

Esperienza fantastica: Anche quest anno sono stata a Zurigo ed ho praticato da Ashtanga yoga Zurigo. È stata un’ esperienza meravigliosa. La maestra è molto brava e con il suo tocco delicato e sapiente fa degli aggiustamenti particolari che aiutano ad avanzare nella pratica. Torno in Italia con la voglia di crescere e mettere in pratica tutto ciò che ho imparato . A presto . Alessandra

Esperienza fantastica: I visited AYZ as a drop-in guest and was welcomed warmly by Nassera. The shala is a very lovely, cozy space. Nassera’s adjustments were spot on, and she even empowered me (and showed me) I can achieve more in my practice with some asanas than I thought I was ready to. I would surely practice under Nassera’s guidance if I lived in ZH.

Esperienza fantastica: For me Ashtanga Mysore became a game changer. I was practicing yoga before but never I had so much discipline and dedication to the practice. Big thanks to Nassera!

Esperienza fantastica: Ho praticato con ashtanga yoga Zurigo due mattine di seguito in occasione di un viaggio in Zurigo. La shala è semplice ma accogliente e pulitissima. La maestra è bravissima. Sempre molto attenta. Mi ha corretto alcune errate posture e insegnato nuove asana. Sempre con gentilezza e umiltà. Lascio in Ashtanga yoga Zurigo un pezzetto di cuore. Alessandra e Pietro

Esperienza fantastica: I am regularly practicing with Nassera in her shala since half a year and I love it! It's definitely life changing for me - I finally feel like having a routine in my life that gives me strength and inner peace at the same time and I found my own regular yoga practice. It's always so worth it to get up early and practice on the mat - before I started with Ahstanga Yoga I always struggled to get out of bed and find my flow in my day. I highly appreciate Nassera as a teacher - I feel like she cares about my process. She has a great energy mix of supporting you to focus, challenges you to grow and at the same time being gentle to yourself and keep your inner smile. My practice is deeply making me feel good, I can feel much change and opening/release in my hip and pelvis since January. And ahstanga is teaching me so much patience wisdom.

Esperienza fantastica: I have been practicing at Ashtanga Yoga Zurich for over a year now and I am very grateful that I have found Nassera’s place. The studio is small and personal. Nassera is a very experienced teacher and a friendly, warmhearted, and open-minded person. She challenges her students in a supportive and caring way. What I really appreciate and what I think is unique about her is that she truly cares about her students. She supports her students in their practice in the way that best fits their body, mind, and life situation, rather than taking a rigid approach. All of this combined makes Nassera an inspiration to her students and her shala a unique place.

Esperienza fantastica: Nassera and her little warm shala has been a boon for me. She pours her heart into teaching and that is rare. Her deep knowledge of Ashtanga reflects in the way she guides each one of us just the way we need it. With her I’ve surely deepened my practice and learned a lot in very few days. Her way of teaching takes me back to Mysore Shala, it’s pure and authentic. She makes everyone feel at home with her warmth and love. And she has an extremely warm community here. I would say I’ve been lucky to have found her as my Guru (teacher). I would highly recommend going to her shala, even if it is for a short duration for someone who is visiting.

Esperienza fantastica: I've been practising with Nassera for six months, ever since I moved to Switzerland, and the shala has become a home from home. Nassera knows everybody personally and has a keen sense of what each person needs and is capable of - both in general and on any given day, because each day is of course different. As the door mat at the shala says: Come as you are! I'm very grateful to have found such a fantastic teacher who supports me as I am but who also challenges me to gently test my limits.

Esperienza fantastica: J’ai emménagé il y a moins d’un an à Zurich et je suis absolument ravie d’avoir trouvé cet espace pour pratiquer le Ashtanga Mysore. Nassera accompagne et donne de précieux conseils pour améliorer la pratique à mon rythme. En français, anglais ou allemand!

Esperienza fantastica: This is really the best Asthanga studio in Zurich! I’m doing Yoga for 6 years and it was really difficult to find a good Asthanga Yoga Studio in Zurich. Nassere (instructor) is very methodical and motivated you to reach the next level. She really believes in you and she provides multiple ways to achieve the next steps in Yoga. The studio is very clean, sunny and organized. There are many classes available and there is a lot of flexibility.

Esperienza fantastica: Everything!

Esperienza fantastica: Peaceful place to practice Ashtanga in Zürich. Nassera is an amazing teacher, very knowledgeable who gives personal attention and keeps you right on track. My mind and body are fully energized after the practice.

Esperienza fantastica: I have been looking for Mysore practice whenever I have chances and found Ashtanga Yoga Zurich. I am very grateful that I have found Nassera’s shala. The energies in the studio are strong but also claim. Nassera is very kind and experienced teacher. I am really appreciate she have taught me patiently with care. Nassera have inspired me on my practice despite only in short time. I will come back whenever is possible. Thank you Nassera.

Esperienza fantastica: - [ ] Nassera has been an amazing teacher since I started to practice Ashtanga in her studio about a year ago. She gives you the right personal attention and coaching. She always finds a way to keep you motivated and climbing on your practice curve. Her Shala is beautiful as well as the community of Ashtangis. And a cool thing is that Nassera speaks fluent French, English and German - which makes it actually quite fun.

Esperienza fantastica: I have been practicing under the guidance of Nassera for more than a year and I cannot express how grateful I am that I found her and her Shala in Zurich. Having practiced yoga and Ashtanga in different cities and with different teachers, I am very picky when it comes to finding a place and a teacher to continue my practice. I found in Nassera everything that I look for in an Ashtanga teacher: patience, personal guidance, and extremely knowledgeable on the Mysore practice and the body anatomy. She can tailor your journey in the practice in a way that suits your body so you keep progressing and enjoying the journey of this beautiful practice. Whether you are living in Zurich or just temporarily, you need to try her practices.

Esperienza fantastica: My happy yoga home! So much love ❤️

Esperienza fantastica: If you are drawn to ashtanga, you will vome here

Esperienza fantastica: This is a really good ashtanga mysore studio. The practice is tailored to individual needs and teacher and assistant are providing fine feedback to improve and release blockages in the body or the mind. The atmosphere is friendly and very respectful of where each person is on their learning and practice.

Esperienza fantastica: Hello, I am a student of Ashtanga Yoga Zurich since 1.5 years and I am very happy doing yoga there. Our yoga teacher Nassera has a lot of experience doing ashtanga yoga and motivates me to do yoga in a gentle, not forced way and to see the progress. I like that I can practise both ashtanga and mysore yoga there with Nassera.

Esperienza fantastica: Nassera is just a great teacher !!!

Esperienza fantastica: Nassera is a fantastic teacher who is extremely observant. She is very dedicated in both her practice and teaching. Perfect place for experienced practitioners and newbies!

Esperienza fantastica: Ashtanga found me many years ago, and I just kept doing it, albeit with strange personal modifications. I loved it and got stronger in every way. Mostly me and my mat - waiting for a teacher for many years. Nassera was worth the wait - she teaches right from the heart. A sweet and strict teacher, with her eye on each student, encouraging them to go farther. Anyone curious about Ashtanga should try it with Nassera. Now it's me, my mat, Nassera and a group of nice people practicing in a cozy shala. The way it should be.

Esperienza fantastica: In the words of Guruji's daughter, Saraswathi, "When your mind is strong, you stay with one teacher. You go everywhere and try, then when you find one, you follow that one person. When you meet the right one, you will know in your heart". I have been searching for an ashtanga teacher for quite some time, and on the first day I stepped onto the mat with Nassera, I knew in my heart that I had found my teacher. Open hearted and bubbling with joy, Nassera meets each of her students where they are, gently yet steadfastly conveying the subtleties of the practice with equal measures of patience and passion. Nassera is quite simply an inspiration!

Esperienza fantastica: Awesome place to practice ashtanga! Very lovely people and the teacher is great! I reccomend it 100%! Thank you, xxx Emma
