The Yoga Nest is Stavanger’s only dedicated Ashtanga yoga studio, offering daily Mysore practice, Led Primary Series, and internationally certified teacher training in the heart of the city.
What is Ashtanga Yoga?
Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic, structured system of yoga developed by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. It links breath with movement through a set sequence of postures, building strength, flexibility, and deep inner awareness. Unlike drop-in flow classes, Ashtanga is a progressive practice: each posture builds on the last, and students advance at their own pace under the guidance of an experienced teacher.
Mysore Style: The Traditional Way to Learn
Our Mysore classes run 6 days a week in central Stavanger. In Mysore style practice, each student works through their own sequence independently while the teacher moves through the room offering personalised guidance, adjustments, and new postures when you are ready. It is suitable for complete beginners and advanced practitioners alike, and you work at your own pace, every time.
Led Primary Series
We offer Led Primary Series classes 3 days per week, where the teacher counts through the full sequence in the traditional Sanskrit count. Led classes are ideal for reinforcing correct vinyasa, building stamina, and experiencing the sequence as a unified practice.
All Classes Taught in English
The Yoga Nest is an inclusive, English-language studio, welcoming yogis from Norway and the international community in Stavanger. Whether you are new to yoga or relocating from abroad, you will find a warm, knowledgeable, and professionally guided environment here.

This is a really authentic yoga studio. First time I tried Mysore and loved it. They also do Yin and Yoga Nidra which were among the best I have experienced. Thanks Claire and Asbjorn for making me feel very welcome.
