Starting March 24, 2025. The Active Series was developed by Sharath Jois and first introduced at the Contemplative Sciences Center at the University of Virginia to make the profound benefits of Ashtanga Yoga available to a much wider audience, regardless of age or ability. The Contemplative Sciences Center’s Yoga Program Manager, John Bultman, one of approximately 27 Ashtanga Yoga teachers in the world Certified by Sharath Jois, will lead instruction in this new series on Monday through Thursday at the Contemplative Commons at 9-10am and again at 5-6pm.
