After the beginners course
After this beginners course you can join any of our ashtanga classes on the schedule as you see fit. You can either sign up for a full course, or join on a drop-in basis with a multi-class pass / sarjakortti.
Simplified practice path
We have adopted a more simplified path of joining the practice.
- Beginners Course (1 day – 1 month)
- Ashtanga Led Classes (2 months – 36 months)
- Ashtanga Mysore (67 years…)
You can decide yourself when you want to start with the Mysore practice. Some people want to start immediately, and some people want to practice in the led classes for a few years first. It’s 100% up to you. Minimum requirement for joining the Mysore classes, is that you are able to practice sun salutations independently first.
And who knows? You might even be able to tie your own shoes in old age 😉 (sure, this might seem like a silly goal… or is this perhaps the ultimate goal? 🤔)
Learn from Alexander Lemberg, 10+ years experienced teacher. Teaching in English (Finnish and Swedish also available – voit asioida suomeksi).

Yoga Students Are Saying
“I started practicing yoga online with Alex during Corona when I was forced to work from home.
To me it was very good to have scheduled activity so it was not only work 24/7. The yoga practice helped me to wind down and lift my energy levels.
Now several months later I am more flexible, have more strength and stability.
I highly appreciate that Alex have had energy to arrange his online courses during the pandemic, when I otherwise would not have had an opportunity to join a yoga class ledd with such a high skill of teaching!”
-MATHIAS
“Alex’s Ashtanga classes give me a good boost. He explains the poses clearly and keeps the vibe relaxed.
The workouts are tough enough to feel progress but never too much. I also like how he listens to us, he offers easier or harder versions of each pose and has a safe option if your knees (or anything else) need extra care.
After just over a month of practice, forward bends and vinyasas already feel easier – my hip flexors have loosened up, so everything flows a bit better.”
-KIMMO
I have had huge problems with (probably) stress-related symptoms in my body.
It has put limitations on my normal training routine. I now feel like the symtoms are slowly getting better thanks to the yoga practice.”

Meet your teacher
Alexander Lemberg – E-RYT & YACEP certified since 2015
Alex is a Swedish-speaking Finn who found yoga by accident due to various health issues, and then became a certified Hatha yoga teacher in 2014.
During the summer of 2015 Alex went to an Ashtanga Yoga summer camp in Houtskari with Petri Räisänen and Juha Javanainen from Helsingin Astangajoogakoulu, and fell in love with the depths of the ashtanga yoga practice.
Since then Alex has been teaching over 5000 hours of yoga classes with a wide range of people, while managing Yogashala Raseborg in Tammisaari, and has actively been practicing with different world renowned teachers on different workshop, such as Eddie Stern, Kino McGregor, Simon Borg-Olivier, and also online courses with David Garrigues.
“To me it’s important that the practices are taught in a safe, healthy and effective way for each student. As a yoga teacher it is important to understand that all people are different, and to embrace the strengths and differences of each individual.
In my teaching style you will learn to turn your senses inward (pratyāhāra), you will improve your focus and learn to practice to the rhythm of your own breath. The meditation and concentration makes the practice meaningful, and is a gateway to your inner dimensions.

Yoga as Self-care – Is This a Thing?
From business leaders to entrepreneurs, athletes to musicians, the world’s top performers all have one thing in common: a non-negotiable self-care and self-reflection routine.
🧘♂️ Steve Jobs (Apple) practiced Zen meditation daily. Not because it was trendy – but because quieting his mind made him sharper and more creative.
🧘♀️ Madonna has practiced Ashtanga Yoga for decades, using it to stay strong, grounded, and ridiculously agile (on stage and in life).
🛁 Oprah swears by morning meditation, journaling, and long walks to center herself before tackling the empire.
These people schedule self-care like a business meeting – because they know it’s the fuel behind their focus, ideas, and leadership.
So no, taking time for yourself isn’t lazy. It’s legendary.
What’s your routine going to look like?
