Traditional Mysore practice in Vienna.Traditionelle Mysore-Praxis in Wien.

Learning slowly.
Practising regularly.
Staying curious.

Langsam lernen.
Regelmäßig üben.
Neugierig bleiben.

Mysore Style · Monday, Wednesday, Friday · 7–9 in the morning

Mysore Style · Montag, Mittwoch, Freitag · 7–9 Uhr morgens

I teach Ashtanga Yoga in the way I have learned it myself: through practice, repetition, attention and relationship.

I teach alone.
That matters to me.

There is no changing team of teachers, no different approach depending on the day, and no need to explain your practice again and again.

If you practise with me, I get to know how you move, where you rush, where you hesitate, what changes, what repeats, and what you need over time.

You may be new to Ashtanga.
You may have practised for many years.
You may be returning after an injury, a break, a difficult period in life, or simply be visiting Vienna and looking for a Mysore room.

I am not interested in how advanced your practice looks.
I am interested in whether you are willing to learn.
Whether you can be curious.
Whether you are prepared to stay with something long enough for it to begin to teach you.

Ich unterrichte Ashtanga Yoga so, wie ich es selbst gelernt habe: durch Praxis, Wiederholung, Aufmerksamkeit und Beziehung.

Ich unterrichte allein.
Das ist mir wichtig.

Es gibt kein wechselndes Team, keinen anderen Zugang je nach Tag und keinen Grund, deine Praxis immer wieder neu zu erklären.

Wenn du mit mir übst, lerne ich kennen, wie du dich bewegst, wo du eilst, wo du zögerst, was sich verändert, was sich wiederholt – und was du mit der Zeit brauchst.

Vielleicht ist Ashtanga neu für dich.
Vielleicht übst du schon seit vielen Jahren.
Vielleicht kommst du nach einer Verletzung, einer Pause oder einer schwierigen Zeit zurück – oder du bist einfach in Wien zu Besuch und suchst einen Mysore-Raum.

Mich interessiert nicht, wie fortgeschritten deine Praxis aussieht.
Mich interessiert, ob du bereit bist zu lernen.
Ob du neugierig sein kannst.
Ob du bereit bist, lange genug bei etwas zu bleiben, damit es beginnt, dich etwas zu lehren.

You arrive quietly, begin your practice, and move through it at your own pace. I teach each person individually within the room. If you are completely new, you do not need to know anything beforehand. You learn gradually, posture by posture, breath by breath.

Du kommst leise an, beginnst deine Praxis und gehst sie in deinem Tempo durch. Ich unterrichte jede Person einzeln im Raum. Wenn du ganz neu bist, musst du vorher nichts wissen. Du lernst nach und nach, Haltung für Haltung, Atemzug für Atemzug.

Here we practise together, with clear guidance and rhythm. It can be a good way to begin, to reconnect with the method, or simply to practise when mornings are not possible.

Hier üben wir gemeinsam, mit klarer Anleitung und Rhythmus. Das kann ein guter Anfang sein, eine Rückkehr zur Methode – oder einfach eine Möglichkeit zu üben, wenn es morgens nicht geht.

You do not need to be flexible.
You do not need to be strong.
You certainly do not need to be “good at yoga”.You begin where you are.

Du musst nicht beweglich sein.
Du musst nicht stark sein.
Und du musst ganz sicher nicht „gut in Yoga“ sein.Du beginnst dort, wo du bist.

I spent one week in Vienna last December, and practicing with Barbara was one of the best experiences of my time there. I had such a wonderful and special experience and wish I had more time to practice in her shala. She was incredibly caring, receptive, attentive, shared valuable insights that truly made a difference in my practice, and I always carry with me. Her passion and respect for Ashtanga can truly be felt and seen in her teachings. I hope to come back soon!

Thanks you Barbara & Mysore Vienna for welcoming me warmly during my stay in Wien. The kindness of Barbara and the atmosphere in the Shala made me feel at home during my business trip to Vienna.I have to travel a lot and the many commitments together with the loss of my safe place where to put the mat some times takes me away from my motivation to keep practicing...but all over in the world there Is a safe place where to put your yoga mat, this Is the magic of Ashtanga Yoga, and in Vienna Is in Mysore Vienna!!! My visit was short but I will always bring with me,and within my practice, Barbara's suggestions and the emoticon while sharing the mantra with the other students .thank you Barbara and see you soon 💕

We went to a wonderful schala in Vienna. Barbara was really kind and taught my daughter, who was doing yoga for the first time, very carefully. I was touched by her thoughtfulness, and the schala was lovely and heartwarming. Vienna is also a wonderful place with a rich tradition. I would like to visit this schala again if I visit Vienna again. Thank you for your warm welcome.

I had a truly special experience practicing at Mysore Vienna ^^ Barbara is an exceptional teacher whose passion and dedication make every session inspiring and transformative. Beyond the incredible Ashtanga Yoga practice itself, this shala became a place where I found new friends and meaningful connections. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, inspiring not only growth in my yoga but also a deep reevaluation of how I relate to others. This journey has brought me more calmness and inner peace than I expected, making every visit feel like a step toward harmony within myself and with those around me. I am deeply grateful for this space that shares the pure essence of yoga with such love and openness. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic and soulful yoga experience <3

I spent a week at a yoga shala in Vienna during my vacation! it’s truly a unique place for practicing Ashtanga. Barbara, the sole teacher, personally leads all the classes and attentively supports each student. The atmosphere is filled with kindness and genuine hospitality, creating a warm and safe space for both inner growth and physical practice. Barbara’s approach is gentle yet very professional: she tailors the practice to individual abilities, explains techniques thoroughly, and helps prevent injuries. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to do dropbacks for the first time in my life - it was incredibly inspiring! This place has become special to me, and I will definitely come back again. I wholeheartedly recommend this shala to anyone who wants to deeply and joyfully immerse themselves in Ashtanga

I joined two of Barbara’s Mysore sessions as a drop in and was really impressed with her welcoming attitude and the amount of effort and attention she dedicated to helping me further my practice. Barbara found a great balance between being challenging and encouraging; I left each session exhausted and with a big smile on my face. If you’re in Vienna, you should give it a try - I will definitely come back.

Caro viaggiatore, caro Yogi, Se hai la fortuna di visitare Vienna, oppure di passare un breve o lungo periodo in questa bellissima città, ti consiglio vivamente di andare a praticare con Barbara, nella shala Mysore Vienna. Barbara oltre ad avere una grande esperienza come insegnante, è anche uno studente, che non smette mai di studiare e crescere. Una delle caratteristica che la contraddistingue da diversi insegnati è la sua grande empatia. Ti guida con mano sicuro, ma ti responsabilizza anche, per renderti autonomo nella pratica. Grazie Barbara e spero di rivederci da qualche parte nel mondo. Enikő Dear traveler, dear Yogi, If you are lucky enough to visit Vienna, or to spend a short or long time in this beautiful city, I highly recommend that you go to practice with Barbara, in the Mysore Vienna shala. Barbara besides having great experience as a teacher, is also a student, who never stops studying and growing. One of the characteristics that sets her apart from different teachers is her great empathy. She guides you with a sure hand, but also empowers you, to make you autonomous in practice. Thank you Barbara and I hope to see you again somewhere in the world. Enikő

Yoga has been part of my life since 2000.
I started practising when I was pregnant with my son.

In 2007 I went to India for the first time with only one purpose: to learn Ashtanga Yoga. For many years I travelled regularly to Mysore to study with Sharath Jois. He authorised me to teach in 2016. In October 2016, I opened Mysore Vienna.

I am still a student and hope that never changes.

Yoga ist seit 2000 Teil meines Lebens.
Ich habe angefangen, als ich mit meinem Sohn schwanger war.

2007 reiste ich zum ersten Mal mit einem einzigen Ziel nach Indien: Ashtanga Yoga zu lernen. Viele Jahre lang reiste ich regelmäßig nach Mysore, um bei Sharath Jois zu lernen. 2016 hat er mich autorisiert zu unterrichten. Im Oktober 2016 habe ich Mysore Vienna eröffnet.

Ich bin immer noch Schülerin und hoffe, dass sich das nie ändert.

QuestionsFragen

You are not supposed to understand everything before you begin.Du musst nicht alles verstehen, bevor du beginnst.

Ink drawing of a man straining in a seated forward bend

Do I need to be flexible?

Muss ich beweglich sein?

No. Flexibility is not a requirement for yoga. Neither is strength. You come with the body you have.

Nein. Beweglichkeit ist keine Voraussetzung für Yoga. Kraft auch nicht. Du kommst mit dem Körper, den du hast.

Ink drawing of a stern man kneeling, arms behind his back

Am I too old to start?

Bin ich zu alt, um anzufangen?

No. How you practise at twenty-five may be very different from how you practise at fifty, seventy or eighty. That is not a lesser practice. It is your practice.

Nein. Wie du mit fünfundzwanzig übst, kann ganz anders sein als mit fünfzig, siebzig oder achtzig. Das ist keine geringere Praxis. Es ist deine Praxis.

But everyone else will know what they are doing.

Aber alle anderen wissen, was sie tun.

Some will. Some absolutely won’t. And most people are far too occupied with their own breath, body and practice to worry about yours.

Manche schon. Manche ganz sicher nicht. Und die meisten sind viel zu sehr mit ihrem eigenen Atem, Körper und ihrer Praxis beschäftigt, um sich um deine zu kümmern.

If that speaks to you, just write to me.
Tell me a little about yourself, your practice, and what brings you here.
We can take it from there.

Wenn dich das anspricht, schreib mir einfach.
Erzähl mir ein wenig über dich, deine Praxis und was dich herführt.
Alles Weitere ergibt sich.

Not sure yet? You are very welcome to come and simply watch a Mysore morning.Noch unsicher? Du bist herzlich eingeladen, einfach einen Mysore-Morgen lang zuzuschauen.
