At its simplest, Jois Yoga is an extension of the Ashtanga philosophy and practice developed by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India in the early 20th century. At Jois Yoga shalas in Encinitas, CA, (where Ashtanga was first introduced in the US in 1975), Greenwich, CT, Islamorada, FL, and Sydney, Australia, hundreds of students receive instruction in Ashtanga yoga though the vehicle of parampara–uninterrupted succession–in a lineage that traces directly back to the Mysore teachings of Pattabhi Jois, R, Sharath Jois, and R, Saraswathi. Jois Yoga Greenwich  includes a beautiful yoga boutique, a yoga studio and a relaxing garden sanctuary with fountains and healing landscape.
