Ethan Ward, KPJAYI Authorized Level 2 teacher, is a devoted teacher of the Ashtanga method. Through his teaching, he aims to guide each student’s experience with precision and integrity.

Each year, he travels to Mysore, India to deepen his study of yoga with his teacher R. Sharath Jois, and to dedicate his energy assisting in the KPJAYI shala by offering precise physical adjustments to hundreds of students as they deepen into their yoga practice.

Ethan has travelled extensively and shared his experience around the world.

He now runs his own a traditional Ashtanga yoga shala in Dubai – where it has been an honour to build a vibrant and growing community of dedicated students.

Charmelle is a gentle and nurturing teacher of the Ashtanga method with a deep respect for the purity of this practice. She passes the teachings on with care and precision, believing that the benefits come from consistent effort in the traditional way. Charmelle carefully observes the individual body of each student, and acts with awareness of their mental and emotional state; to connect with them, and inspire an openness that allows the practice to reveal its magic.

Charmelle and Ethan Ward together built thriving daily Mysore programs in Bali as well as in Dubai; these communities were as fulfilling for them as they were for their students.
