When I practice Ashtanga Yoga I like it HOT. Thats why I came to Thailand. What I did not expect was to find two of the most amazing Ashtanga Yogis ever. At TAYSP Rich & Sofya make an excellent team. I have practiced Ashtanga for almost 20 years and I have a deep respect for all of my teachers. Rich & Sofya were able to provide me with the most amazing assists that in just 5 short days I was able to progress in several postures. And when I say amazing assists...I mean amazing. No matter whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, these two beautiful Yogis will be able to help you advance your practice. Make sure you get to their Yoga Shala when in Phuket or just take that special trip to improve your practice. You will be glad you made the effort. I promise :-)

I had the pleasure of participating special 7 classes ( one to one ) after disc operation into my back . All my joints became hard and difficult to move due to one year laying down on bed with no exercises. . Today After 7 intensive classes with Rich i had walked 3 kilometers without feeling back tension and started jogging for the 1st time since last year & feeling comfortable. Both Rich & Sofia were extremely passionate, open minded, patient, Deep and Deep knowledgeable and experienced coaches. I loved their hospitality and welcoming. They are so flexible and helpful. Being fairly new to the practice of Ashtanga , it was a challenging and enjoyable introduction. Now i’m going back home with lots of knowledge about how my body works , type of food to eat, habits to change and the most interesting i learn how to really relax. Highly recommended.

I started to visit ashtanga classes because of my friend's recommendations. I was dreaming to do a head stand and after 2 months my dream came true- i did it with a help of my teachers! Sofia and Rich are very organized, the classroom is cozy and clean, the atmosphere there is for practicing yoga and self-growth. Guys are very open-minded, friendly and always help during doing asanas. We have a breakfast all together on Saturdays after yoga, people are bringing self-made food and Sofia bakes amazing cakes!

TAYSP is a great place for practice. I liked its atmosphere and that it's always hot there. Sonya and Rich are very attentive and confident teachers. Be prepared for intensive practice and new achievements :)

I had the pleasure of participating in a one month intensive. Sophia and Rich, were extremely passionate, patient, knowledgeable and experienced teachers. Being fairly new to the practice of Ashtanga and Pranayama, it was a challenging and enjoyable introduction. Highly recommended.

Teacher training program was difficult, professional and exactly what I was looking for. The shala itself was inviting and calming with hot/humid weather.. great for working on your personal practice. Even if you are just starting to learn the ashtanga series, the classes are teacher led twice a week, along with amazing adjustments throughout the class. :)

My best yoga experience ever!

The best place and the best teachers i spend my time with… i did the teacher teaining course and for shure is one of the best things i did to learn in a deep, intensive and safe way about yoga. The only bad thing to come to this shala is that you will want to practica here forever! Thank you Rich and Sophia always in my 🤍

Rich and Sofya run an excellent program. I completed a 5 day water fast and couldn’t be happier. Their knowledge and attention to detail keeps you safe so you can fully immerse yourself in the program. Recommended.

Sofya & Rich are literally the best of the best in their field & have an incredibly professional & unique aptitude to yoga & its disciplines. I hadn't practiced yoga for quite sometime before attending the yoga retreat but Rich & Sofya really build that self trust & commitment to oneself that is required to step into listening to your body & your mind more intuitively. It was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. Committing every morning to an intense Ashtanga practice with daily breathwork, meditation and lectures on yoga related topics. The yoga retreat was so profoundly impactful that I have decided to return & do the 200hr teacher training course. I can't imagine attempting this with any other yoga shala . Overall, highly highly recommend Sofya & Rich as the best mentors for guiding you through your yoga journey, Two incredible passionate people who love what they do & so driven to help others. They live and breath what they practice & are wonderful examples of what life can look like when you commit to helping others and yourself in a very pure, selfless way. Love & light is what sums them up in its totality. Feel lucky to have met them. They have left a lasting impression on me forever more & I look so forward to attending their yoga teacher training course this year. Thank you Sofya & Rich for the amazing experience.

Highly recommended if you are looking for a Traditional Yoga pratice that not involved only the physical part, Teachers are very dedicated to each student, to the correct posture, breathing and a healthy lifestyle. I can't be more happy with this place.
