Consistent, daily practice of ashtanga yoga over time brings about a strong, flexible and healthy body, evenness of mind and an ever-deepening sense of inner peace.
Mysore style ashtanga yoga is the traditional method of practice taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, South India, whereby students of all levels from the absolute beginner to the most advanced practitioner progress at his or her own pace with individual, one-on-one guidance from the teacher. Though there is a set sequence of poses, each student's practice differs in duration and skill level according to their experience and capability. No yoga experience is required, but a desire to establish and/or deepen your practice is a prerequisite.
As you progress in the practice instructors will teach you new asanas to add to your ever growing yoga practice! In this way each student will work deeper into postures slowly enabling memorization of asana sequencing and allowing the body to gradually adapt to the asanas. This is the traditional method of learning Ashtanga yoga, to receive new poses one by one from teacher to student. The Mysore program is an empowering way to create and sustain your own practice – it helps you create a strong foundation both in mind and body – you learn self awareness, acceptance, humility, and dedication to your practice and your life!
If you are new to Ashtanga yoga or the Mysore method of teaching, we suggest you come observe a Mysore class to see how it works and speak to the instructor about getting started with your own personal Mysore practice. No need to call or make an appointment – simply come by whenever a Mysore class is scheduled. New Students are recommended to show up between 6-6:30am.
Class is cancelled on the New and Full Moon days.
PROGRAM | TUITION
One studio is reserved for Mysore Ashtanga from 6:00 - 9:00am (You can start anytime between 6:00 - 8:00am.), Sunday to Friday, no mysore on Saturdays. One nice advantage of Mysore class practice is that the time is a little flexible. If you cannot get there by 6:00am, no problem, come start anytime before 8:00am. Please arrive early enough to be finished by 9:00am and enter the room quietly.
Drop-ins ($20) are welcome for those who have an ashtanga practice but cannot commit to the 3 to 6 early daily practice sessions per week. Tuition is either $108/month for 3-times a week commitment (12 visits/month) or $150 for 6-times a week (unlimited monthly Mysore Ashtanga).
