Jois Yoga is a teaching institute with a mission to train and educate students in both the practical and philosophical aspects of traditional Patanjali Ashtanga Yoga as developed and taught by the late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India since early last century. At Jois Yoga we believe an effective yoga practice should bring contentment while helping you to move through life effectively with both grace and ease.
To achieve this we teach both the practice and philosophy of yoga. Our teachers are direct students of Sri K Pattabhi Jois, R Sharath Jois and Saraswati Jois and have received extensive training and certification at the prestigious Sharath Yoga Centre and KPJAYI Institute (Formerly Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute) in Mysore, India.

Excellent place to learn yoga (astanga method). Practice makes body flexible and strong also heals body and mind. I am IT engineer for more than 15years. My metabolism degraded with sitting and working for long hours. This method benefitted me to regain my strength and improved digestion and metabolism, also improved triglycerides levels a lot. Andrew is excellent teacher and very friendly. Very lucky to be have him in San Diego and learning yoga with him.

Andrew is amazing! He is patient and his passion for the practice is palpable. I attended his Ashtanga yoga retreat at swaswara in gokarna India and loved every moment of it and plan to return next year to his retreat. Highly recommend anyone lucky enough to be in Encinitas or looking to attend a health and wellness yoga retreat.
