History

Miami Yogashala was founded by Fred Busch as an Ashtanga Vinyasa School in 2001. After several years of teaching Ashtanga Vinyasa Fred started noticing that there was no mechanism to heal certain injuries in that system and he began to advise certain students to refine their poses in ways that were more healing. This development meant that Fred no longer was teaching traditional Ashtanga vinyasa yoga, so he changed the name of his classes to Power Yoga. Now Fred Busch Power Yoga is taught all over the world and is the foundation of the vinyasa style taught at Miami Yogashala. Fred Busch, believes in the powerful transformational potential of Yoga.

Fred Busch is a dedicated practitioner of Yoga and author of “A Clear and Definite Path- Enlightenment and Health with Yoga and Holistic Living.”  He is the founder and Director of Miami Yogashala in South Beach and Brickell Yogashala, and is the Director of Teacher Training at Fulham Yogashala in London and Lima Yogashala in Peru. Fred is a graduate of the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources and Environment.

His one pointed attention, intelligent use of healing sequencing and holistic knowledge of healthy eating, are a reflection of his ability to see the connection between a healthy planet and healthy people.
