- Brett and Kamil have a created an incredibly beautiful oasis for Ashtanga Yoga right in the heart of Zurich. Brett’s deep knowledge of Ashtanga, and love of the practice, is evident in his teaching of seasoned practitioners and absolute beginners alike (absolutely no need for newbies to feel intimidated). Kamil’s warmth and caring nature makes sure that everyone feels welcomed and included, as well as ensuring that the shala runs like clockwork. Together they have created a space and community that quickly became a home and family where we all care for and acknowledge one another. In addition to being spiritually and energetically beautiful the Shala is also aesthetically beautiful, which makes it even more of a pleasure to enter and start practicing every morning. Thanks you Brett and Kamil your have provided us with an oasis of love and here in Zurich. / Nia
- Patanjali Yoga Shala has definitely been a game changer in my practice and in my life. I practice with Brett since almost three years and help me to reconnect with my practice. We, all the practitioners, are part of a family on that space. The energy created on the Shala and the commitment from each single individual there, makes it a magical place. A place where emotions, feelings and vibrations expand everyday. I would like to thanks Brett Porzio and Kamil to make this happening. / Javier
- Starting my journey with Ashtanga yoga has been amazing, and Brett has been a fantastic guide along the way. Practicing in the shala is such a wonderful start to the day; it’s not only about the practice but also the supportive community. I've met some wonderful people there, and there’s even the chance to enjoy a morning tea and chat with other students after class.
Thank you to Kamil for creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the shala—his presence brings a beautiful energy to the space. I’m grateful to be part of this community! / Natalia
- Having been a student of Brett Porzio for 3 years now I can whole heartedly and sincerely recommend visiting him for anybody wanting to explore Ashtanga Yoga. He is very gifted at holding a welcoming space and uniquely being able to support each student individually. The energy and inclusivity at Patanjali Yoga Shala is also amazing and you effortlessly connect with the group. Lots of effort, sweat and progress is companioned with warmth, love and community... not to mention lots of smiles and laughing along the way! / Jazz
- Die Patanjali Yoga Shala ist ein ganz besonderer Ort! Die Community ist unglaublich herzlich, und jedes Mal fühlt es sich wie ein Nachhausekommen an, wenn ich ins Studio gehe. Brett ist ein fantastischer Lehrer – er achtet auf jeden Einzelnen, unterstützt uns individuell und schafft eine Atmosphäre, in der man sich wohlfühlt und Freude daran hat, sich auf den Yoga-Weg zu begeben. Ich habe so viel gelernt und bin dankbar das wir eine so tolle Gruppe von Leuten sind, die alle mit Herz dabei sind. Danke auch an Kamil für den tollen Support wenn morgens um 5 Uhr ein administratives Problem auftritt und er innerhalb von 2 Min. antwortet und sich um alles kümmert :) Es macht viel Spaß, und ich freue mich jeden Morgen darauf, gemeinsam in der Shala zu praktizieren. Absolut empfehlenswert für alle, die Yoga mit Tiefe suchen! (ausserdem gibt es sehr oft, sehr guten selbstgebackenen Kuchen ;-)) / Kristin
- Brett Porzio a very experienced Ashtanga Yoga Teacher, who studied with Pattabhi Jois, has created a wonderful, inspiring space to practice Mysore Ashtanga Yoga. The connecting, motivating energy, which is felt there, allows the students a nice steady practice. / Angela
- Patanjali Yoga Shala literally and figuratively feels like a little hidden oasis, tucked away in the center of Zurich. It's a homey, cosy space, with many windows and nice light, contributing to an overall very nice energy. Brett Porzio is very experienced (KPJAY2) and pays attention to each individual. And there is a nice community of like minded people, with regular little catch ups after class. Big thanks to Kamil as well, who organizes everything very smoothly. / Andy
-the secret sauce to bliss! period. Patanjali Yoga Shala—a true hidden gem!

- Patanjali Yoga Shala in Zurich is more than a yoga space-is a sanctuary. The moment you step in, you’re welcomed by the soothing scent of incense, fresh flowers, and the warmth of homemade cookies&tea you can by then inhale Love and devotion. The altar radiates peace, making the whole place feel like a piece of Mysuru in the heart of Langstrasse, like a lotus blooming in an unexpected place. Brett, my first yoga teacher, carries a wisdom that flows effortlessly into his teaching. His presence is calm yet powerful, his guidance smooth and precise, making every practice a journey inward. His energy fills the room, creating a space where you feel both challenged and deeply supported.Even when i had not enough money, I was embraced as a Karma Yogi, given the chance to contribute and be part of this beautiful community. This shala is a home, a family, a place where devotion and practice come together. Grateful for every moment here-I can’t wait to be back! Thanks to my teacher Brett and his dedication, I’m now practicing in Mysuru where so many before me have walked this path with Pattabhi Jois. Grateful for every step of this journey 🕉️ Grateful For Kamil&Brett&Gulio for creating such a magical place 🙏💛🌸 / Aga

- If you wanna learn and practice authentic Ashtanga Yoga from a very experienced and dedicated teacher - Brett Porzio is the man and thats THE place! I've been practicing with Brett for two years now and it's been a real pleasure to have him in Zürich! / Fabian
- Seit über einem Jahr praktiziere ich Ashtanga Yoga mit Brett. Vorher habe ich andere Yoga-Stile versucht mehr oder weniger regulär zu machen. Als mir ein Freund Ashtanga empfohlen hat, war ich am Anfang skeptisch, ob ich es schaffe. Mit Bretts Geduld, Unterstützung und guten Tipps bin ich in den besten Händen und schaffe fast jeden Tag um 6:30 Uhr auf der Matte zu sein. Seine individuelle Anleitung hilft jedem, die eigene Praxis zu vertiefen und an den eigenen Zielen zu arbeiten. Die Energie der Klasse ist einfach toll. Es macht mir grossen Spass mit anderen Schülern zu praktizieren und mit ihnen viele tolle Ashtanga-Momente zu teilen. Danke Brett und danke Kamil, da du auch ein wichtiger Teil der Patanjali Yoga Shala bist. / Julita
- Finally there is a Ashtanga studio in Zurich I can connect with !
Strong energy, lovely students, and most importantly Brett is incredibly experienced!! The studio is centrally located, 5 mins tram away from the HauptBahnhof ( or you can simply walk) / Amy
