About Mysore Classes
In the “Mysore class” with Vesta Mauch, students work at their own pace, practicing any series or section of a series that is appropriate to their individual needs and abilities. The class is generally silent, except for a few words of instruction, with only the combined sound of breathing in the room as a backdrop.
As a skilled and experienced teacher, Vesta Mauch gives individual attention as each practitioner needs it and with minimal interruption to the continuity of their inner flow of experience.
This module includes 6 classes of 2 hours and the maximum capacity of participants per class is 6 people, in order to guarantee the quality of the teaching.

Vesta MAUCH
The discovery of Pilates and Ashtanga Yoga was not predestined for Vesta Mauch
After a well-established and flourishing career devoted entirely to contemporary art, she opened a gallery in the heart of Berlin’s art scene. After suffering from severe scoliosis, Vesta Mauch discovered the Pilates method. Without realizing it, it was the start of a new life.
In 2014, she began practicing yoga at Ashtanga Berlin and decided to travel to Mysore, India, to study at KPJAYI (Kri Patthabi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute). She had the honor of meeting Sharath Jois. Originally intending to stay for a month, she stayed for three months, then returned to Mysore every year to study with Sharath Jois.
In December 2014, Sharath Jois granted her permission to teach the primary Ashtanga Yoga series.
Vesta Mauch opened a yoga and pilates center in Geneva and then in Montreux, Switzerland. For over a decade, she has guided her students on profound journeys of self-transformation, teaching them the beauty and power of Pilates and Ashtanga Yoga…
