About

The Bandha Works Yoga School was founded in 2013 by three engineers who were united by their desire to promote and teach traditional ashtanga vinyasa yoga in Hungary.

After more than ten years, the situation has not changed, our teachers are dedicated practitioners of the tradition and regularly travel to the capital of ashtanga yoga, Mysore, South India, to further deepen their knowledge and understanding by drawing from the parampara (lineage).

PARAMPARA

Parampara is the knowledge that the teacher passes on to the student. The Sanskrit word parampara expresses the most valuable form of knowledge transmission, the transmission of direct and experiential knowledge. This is the basis of all teaching lineage: in the lineage of preservation of thousands of years of teaching, the teacher and his student are the links.

Traditional ashtanga yoga

In the yoga school we teach traditional ashtanga vinyasa yoga and vinyasa krama yoga. The specialty of Bandha Works is the morning ashtanga Mysore program the original and most effective form of teaching ashtanga yoga. In our program, we regularly host internationally renowned ashtanga yoga teachers from abroad, who further enhance the quality of teaching in our institution.

And for those who are just starting to learn about this style, we regularly run ashtanga beginners' courses and Mysore courses.

In addition to teaching asanas, we also place great emphasis on introducing yogic philosophy and a yogic lifestyle. Monthly free ashtanga conferences are held to discuss yoga theory and conscious living in an informal way. It's an opportunity for everyone to ask questions and for fellow practitioners to get to know each other better.
