After decades of practicing, learning and teaching yoga, Gregor Maehle provides his perspective on yoga asana, philosophy and more. His ongoing research and quest to understand this 5,000-year-old tradition, provides rich material that he imparts to his students with a heavy dose of humor. Nowadays, most teachers are judged by how far they can take you into the mysterious world of the primary, intermediate and Advanced series in Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga. Gregor has done that, continues to do so and generously shares his extensive knowledge regarding asanas or yoga postures.
Gregor started his yogic practices 30 years ago in the 1980s and was authorized to teach Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga by K. Pattabhi Jois in 1997. Gregor is a published author, a senior teacher with both Yoga Alliance (ERYT500) and Yoga Australia (Level 3 membership) and, together with his wife Monica, they co-founded the 8 Limbs Studio in Perth in 1996. Today, Gregor teaches an anatomically sophisticated interpretation of traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, integrated into the practice of the higher limbs in the spirit of Patanjali and T. Krishnamacharya.
