Laia Yañez - Mysore Barcelona Ashtanga Yoga

We are dedicated to the teaching of Ashtanga Yoga in its traditional form, honouring the lineage and wisdom of the practice, while embracing a human, open, and adaptive approach, both to the individuality and the specific needs of each student.

Our school is rooted in Barcelona, the hometown of Laia and the heart of this journey. From here, the practice extends into different places around the world, where Laia holds Mysore style ashtanga yoga programs, retreats and intensive inmersions; creating spaces of study, presence, and transformation wherever she goes.

We welcome practitioners at all stages of life and practice. From beginners to dedicated practitioners.

Our intention is to hold a safe, respectful, and dedicated space for practice, one that honours the individuality of each student and supports their unique journey with presence and care.

Rooted in tradition and in the values of living a simple, intentional life, we offer a learning environment where the practice unfolds gradually, guided with personal attention and a spirit of humility and devotion.

We believe in a path that is consistent, sincere, and deeply conscious, a lifelong practice of inner exploration and transformation.

Mysore classes are taught by Laia Yañez, Authorized teacher Level 2 KPJAYI by Sharath Jois. Laia’s spiritual journey began through meditation while still immersed in her professional life in her hometown of Barcelona. Later, while living in Nepal, she was introduced to the Ashtanga Yoga method, which eventually led her to Mysore, India. There, she studied with the Jois family, practicing under Saraswathi Jois and with her teacher Sharath Jois. After many years of dedicated practice, devotion, and continuous study under his guidance, Laia received Level 2 Authorization from Sharath Jois following the Parampara tradition.
