An official list of authorized and certified Ashtanga teachers was released this week by the newly renamed K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute (KPJAYI.) Compared to the Ashtanga.com teacher directory, the number of teachers officially “allowed” to teach Ashtanga has been greatly reduced. Also of note in the new KPJAYI guidelines are the following:
- No Ashtanga-related workshops allowed
- Requirements for Ashtanga shalas
- Authorized and certified teacher criteria
Visit the K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute website to read about the new guideline details and view the official teacher list.

That’s one interpretation.
Another is that the number of teachers acknowledged as accurately transmitting the method taught at the AYRI ( or KPJAYI if you prefer) has been (drastically) revised downwards…
