Welcome to The Ashram!
The Ashram is the home of Gary Olson's Hot Yoga program, located on Rose Hill and serving yoga students from Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell, Issaquah, Seattle and beyond. We offer the premiere high-energy Kirkland yoga experience with both Power, Kids, and Bikram Yoga classes. The studio has TWO spacious yoga rooms, large changing facilities with multiple showers for men & women, and plenty of free parking.
The type of hot Vinyasa Yoga here at the Ashram promotes upper and lower body strength, balance, and flexibility. Through this dynamic exercise students not only improve physically but also benefit from the strong mental, spiritual effects of the classes. Students regularly speak of their experience of being brought into the desired yogic state of "union with oneself" - one of profound relaxation with an open empty mind.
Whether you're just beginning or have many years of experience, we welcome you to come practice at The Ashram. Namaste.

Pose Gallery
Salabhasana: Locust pose. Lying on your stomach, extend both arms out to the sides, palms down. As in Locust, raise your head and rest your chin on the floor. Keeping your legs together, point your toes, lock both knees, and tighten all the muscles in the legs and hip area. Keeping them tensed will prevent you from letting your knees or feet fly apart when you finally get into this "airplane" pose. Start with a big inhale, raise your head and chin off the floor to look at the ceiling, and in one movement raise both arms, both legs and your entire torso off the floor. Your arms are now lifting up and moving backward slightly, looking like the wings on your personal Concorde jet. Your palms face the floor, fingers together. The fingertips should be level with the top of your head, palms parallel to the floor.
