Mysore Classes

Attention: This is not a led class.

It is suggested that you know at least Sun Salutations and standing postures by heart before attending.
Please start your practice Monday through Friday between 6:0 0 - 8:00a.m. The instructor is present from from 6:30 until 9:00am.

This method is often called 'assisted or guided self-practice. On your first day of class, expect to practice only what you know by heart.

Mysore class is the traditional teaching method of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois for over 65 years at his school in Mysore, India. This unique style is the essence of the Ashtanga yoga approach.

Postures in the Ashtanga series are learned one-by-one, thus easily memorized, with students practicing at a pace measured by their own breath-rhythm. The teacher provides individual instruction and assistance, tailoring the practice to specific needs of each student. With guidance and hands-on adjustments from the teacher, students receive the attention necessary to learn, work, and progress at an individual pace and ability. Working at the appropriate level, one-to-one with a teacher, is essential in developing a safe and fulfilling practice.

Mysore classes cultivate the true spirit of yoga in your practice, combining students of mixed levels together in order for everyone to benefit from the group energy. This environment is unique to Ashtanga yoga and allows for a deep meditative state, regardless of one's ability or experience. The Mysore approach prevents stagnancy within the consistent sequence of Ashtanga, thus the constantly evolving experience keeps students dynamic within their practice.

Level I

This class is recommended for new students or experienced practitioners from other yoga disciplines, introducing the energetic principles that bring lightness, strength, and longevity to one's practice. The class covers fundamental postures and techniques of Ashtanga.

It is advised that you become familiar with the postures and techniques covered in this class before moving on to Level II or Mysore. You can also gain this knowledge through private lessons.

Level II

This class starts with students independently moving through Suryanamaskara A & B, receiving assistance when needed. Generally, the class covers the standing sequence and half of the seated postures of the primary series, with adjustments and verbal assistance from the teacher.

This class is for students who are familiar with the fundamental techniques (ujjayi breathing, bandha and dristi) and Suryanamaskara A & B; which are covered in detail in level I class.
