About us

  We are Daria Ralko and Alex Lopez, the founders of "Ashtanga Yoga Generation," and we are devoted long-time Ashtanga yoga practitioners. Our journey has granted us the privilege of studying with numerous Ashtanga teachers, allowing us to witness both the inspiring and the challenging aspects of this ancient practice.

  These varied experiences have informed our holistic approach to Ashtanga Yoga, one that honors its core principles while questioning its more problematic cultural stigmas.

  We created "Ashtanga Yoga Generation" to share this balanced perspective, inviting practitioners to explore the depths of Ashtanga Yoga in a respectful, mindful, and dedicated community.
