ashtanga yoga has really taken off recently in Singapore.
Places to do it
1) On the Mat. This is an ashtanga-only shala run by Celestine Lau, they
do traditional style mysore every morning as well as led classes in the
evening. Has quite a few great teachers passing through giving workshops
frequently. At Robertson Walk. You can contact the shala at:
onthemat1@..., phone # will be listed in directory. Classes are
abt S$15 for drop in and u can buy monthly for a lot cheaper.

2) Ashtanga Singapore. A self-practice group that runs some classes.
Not sure where they are practising now. Also has teachers coming through
for workshops.
you can contact: ashtanga_singapore@.... Think they charge around
$15 too.

3) Shambala. Located at Forum Galleria. Probably Singapore's biggest
yoga studio, offers all kinds of yoga, of which ashtanga is one. They
have just a few ashtanga classes and not sure how good the teacher is.
This is the most expensive, classes are over S$20 but it is nice space.
Go check them out and see which one u like the best, they all 3
definitely have a v different vibe.

Those are the major options tho there may be some pp offering private
lessons. 16-year old is definitely NOT too young to start, even little
kids can start doing yoga! Whether or not she will take to it is a
different question (notice how most pp doing ashtanga are generally at
least in mid-late 20s? but maybe that's a cost issue.) Go for it!!

Thank you Cheryl, for the helpful information. What do you mean by drop in? Is
it just a one-time workshop or crash course to ashtanga yoga? How long does it
usually last? Thank you very much once again!
