Ashtanga Yoga comes from Mysore India and was started by Sri K Pattabhi Jois from the 1940s until his death in 2009. Today, Pattabhi Jois's grandson, R. Sharath Jois, upholds the tradition of his grandfather by teaching at and directing the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga comprises six series of dynamic postures.
Mysore-style Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga classes are taught in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, which means that classes are overseen by a qualified teacher who provides personal instruction and physical adjustments. The Primary Series, Yoga Chikittsa, is designed to purify the body and bring it into physical health.

If you want to experience authentic yoga, 9th Limb is your place. Owner, Khristine Jones is a true yogi, healer, insightful, intuitive, warrior goddess! If you want to try Ashtanga yoga she is an incredible teacher to study with whatever level you are at. She has a way of inspiring you to move beyond your comfort level without force. She pays close attention to what is happening with your body and helps you modify where needed. She provides a safe healing space to explore your potential. She is constantly learning
and sharing her yogic knowledge. This is not a "yoga gym." This is

9th Limb Yoga is an amazing Yoga studio. I absolutely love the community. And the Yoga teacher's are truly great.
I enjoy attending the Ashtanga Yoga sessions from 6am-9am. I practice Ashtanga Yoga because it is rooted in self-discipline alongside a teacher's guidance.
The studio is really nice and is located in an intimate corner of Morro Bay. I highly recommend visiting.
Also, the owner, Khristine, is very, very generous. If you are currently lacking funds or need to save money - inquire about Karma Yoga.
May God bless you today.

It’s happenin’ in 9th Limb Yoga! A truly magical place, a space that feels so safe, so supportive and inclusive that I feel like I can’t do anything else but open up to it. My experiences here with Khristine, Bhava and the rest of the 9th Limb Yoga family are priceless. They do way more for the community than just teach yoga classes, and I hope you have the opportunity to experience some for yourself! It’s amazing.
The way Khristine teaches in the Mysore room (both IRL and virtual) is the best way for me to learn. She’s attentive, intuitive - she can see your potential, and then somehow

I drove 20 miles to 9th limbs to practice with Kristine every time when I am in town. She is an authorized Ashtanga yoga teacher but has a bit of love and lights in her. I am a lazy Ashtanga Mysore practitioner and I really appreciate her knowledge, humor, and great personality. As a student, I can be very demanding in a yoga class and the yoga instructors. For example, I would like to do more backbends and hip openings. Very few instructors can create a suitable sequence on demand. Kristine always adds/modify poses in her sequence to make beginners comfortable and advanced students feel challenged

9th limb yoga is a unique experience. I appreciate how each instructor provides support and encouragement for each individual at varying levels. I've been fortunate to find a yoga studio that fosters growth, compassion, awareness, and mental, emotional and physical well being. It's a community that continues to grow and help others in their pursuit. If you haven't tried this yoga studio out yet, I highly recommend that you do and you'll realize why its transformative for many.

This sweet studio has a welcoming and peaceful ambiance. They have a great variety of classes that meets you at your level. There are even intro classes to introduce you to new styles, specifically Ashtanga. The team of teachers are knowledgeable and approachable. I appreciate the variety of participants that show up validating that it's safe to work at our level.
Another benefit is the variety of workshops, guest instructions and retreats to broaden your yoga experience. Mashelle is authentic and candid in her gentle classes. Shawna's relaxing voice would put anyone at ease and her

9th Limb Yoga studio has been nothing short of life-changing for me! Every teacher is knowledgeable and friendly and eager to give individual attention as needed. Owner and instructor Khristine Jones has a far reaching vision for this intimate space in Morro Bay. Her special workshops with amazing guest instructors continue to be inspirational, and 9th Limb's reputation is spreading up and down the coast.I do enjoy going to classes in San Francisco and Los Angeles but there is nothing like coming home to this peaceful space. I feel like I am living in a yoga retreat! By the way, I've

This studio was great. The moment you walk in the ambiance of the studio is exactly what you would want in any studio. It was clean and welcoming. The class was great, taught by Kristine, who is amazing. She is really knowledgeable and true to yoga. She helps those who need the assistance while at the same time reaching out to others who are craving a little more, without missing a beat. I left class feeling rejuvenated and open and as if I could conquer the day.
