Frequently Asked Questions
What is ashtangi?
ashtangi is a free Ashtanga yoga practice log and community. It is a Progressive Web App: it runs in the browser and can be added to your phone's home screen. You record your practice and see who is practicing today around the world.
How much does ashtangi cost?
Recording practice, the journal, the shala and teacher directory, the board and forum are free. An optional donation based membership called Plus adds extra profile features and supports the app.
What can I record in ashtangi?
One record per Mysuru calendar day. A record includes the series you practiced (or a rest day), the place you practiced (shala, home, or other), whether you did pranayama, and an optional private journal note.
Do I need to install an app from an app store?
No. ashtangi is not a native App Store or Google Play app. Open ashtangi.yoga in Safari or Chrome and add it to your home screen; it then works like an installed app, including notifications.
What time zone does ashtangi use?
All dates, streaks, and daily records use Indian Standard Time (Mysuru time, UTC+5:30), the home time zone of Ashtanga yoga. A practice day starts at 00:00 IST and ends at 23:59 IST.
How do streaks work in ashtangi?
A streak is the number of consecutive IST days you have recorded practice. One record per day keeps the streak alive. Rest days and moon days do not break an existing streak, but a missed day without a record does.
What are moon days in Ashtanga yoga?
In Ashtanga tradition, practice pauses on full moon and new moon days. ashtangi counts a moon day as a rest day to continue your streak.
Is my journal in ashtangi private?
Yes. Journal notes are private by default and only you can read them. Your public profile shows your practice heatmap, streak, and series totals according to the privacy level you choose: public, followers, or mutual follows. Your data stays private — see how in our Privacy Policy (ashtangi.yoga/privacy).
What is the shala and teacher directory?
The directory lists Ashtanga yoga shalas and teachers worldwide. You can find shalas and teachers, see their profiles, reviews, and photos, link them to your own profile as your practice places, and request to claim ownership of a listing you manage.
Does ashtangi send notifications?
Yes, if you turn them on. ashtangi sends optional push notifications for streak reminders (at 8:59 pm IST if you have a streak but have not recorded that day), social updates such as when someone you follow records, and calendar reminders for moon days and Ekadashi.
Who is ashtangi for?
ashtangi is for Ashtanga vinyasa practitioners of every level, whether you practice Mysore style at a shala, at home, or while traveling. It connects practitioners who follow the same daily practice tradition.
