Our Ashtanga Yoga
Teachers and Lineage
Jeff & Harmony Lichty
We are dedicated Ashtanga Yoga Students and Ashtanga Yoga Teachers. We are lucky to have been directly
'Authorized' by
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois
(Guruji) to teach this traditional method of yoga. We continue to carry on the teachings of this lineage, as it was taught by him and by his teacher, the "Grandfather of Modern Yoga",
Sri T. Krishnamacharaya
. There are only eleven Ashtanga Yoga Teachers in Canada who currently hold this official 'authorization,' and only nine teachers who have been given the blessing to teach at Level II. We feel blessed to be counted amongst this small group of Ashtanga Yoga Teachers. Our primary asana teachers have been Pattabhi Jois and
R. Sharath Jois
of The KPJ Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore.
We are also blessed to be students of
Sri O. P. Tiwari
(Tiwariji), who is a Master of pranayama in the lineage of
Swami Kuvalayananda,
the honored teacher, and founder of the Kaivalyadhama Institute in Lonavla, India.
For many years we were traveling and teaching internationally, and spending as much time as possible studying in India at the feet of the Masters.

More about Jeff
We are also extremely thankful to Dr. M.A Jayashree for her unwavering patience with us while learning Sanskrit and Chanting. Also, Prof. M.A Narasimhan, for his guidance in philosophy and meditation. And to the practice of Vipassana Meditation in the tradition of S.N Goenka, which has changed our lives in countless ways.
Needless to say, we love being around the positive energy of the Masters, as well as other dedicated Yoga Teachers and students. It is our firm belief that all teachers must connect to their students from the truth of their personal experience. It is from this place that we happily and humbly offer a little of what we have learned to our students in Victoria, and to others from around the world.
Be Blessed!
