Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga: Monday Wednesday Fridays 8:30 - 10am
With Giselle del Castillo 

Ashtanga Yoga has always been at the heart of the studio. The studio owner, Jessica Blanchard, practiced and trained in Mysore with Sri K Pattabhi Jois from 2004 - 2008.  Over the years we've had wonderful asthanga teachers and workshops.  We are excited to introduce a new teacher to the studio who brings a love and dedication to Ashtanga practice. 

Giselle del Castillo is an Ashtanga focused instructor whose teaching is rooted in disciplined practice, breath, and mindful movement. Originally from Panama and based in New Orleans since 2009, she discovered yoga as a transformative path for connecting body, mind, and spirit. Giselle completed her 200- and 300-hour teacher trainings at the Ashtanga Yoga Room and continues her studies through SmartFlow’s 300-hour program. A devoted and consistent practitioner, Giselle brings Ashtanga’s steady, meditative approach into each class, supporting strength, focus, and balance one breath and one movement at a time.
