WHAT IS MYSORE STYLE? Mysore classes are the traditional way of practicing Ashtanga yoga, and offer a highly personalized approach without expense of private lessons, with all of the group energy of a conventional class.You don't have to arrive at the start of class, rather, you can begin at your convenience and leave anytime. For beginners, this could be half an hour, and for the more advanced, up to an hour and 45 minutes. It is a wonderful way for beginners and advanced practitioners alike to develop a self-practice.
In your first class, expect to learn the sun salutations and perhaps the first few postures of the standing sequence. Your practice will last 30-45 minutes. With each class, the postures of primary series will be gradually taught in a safe and nurturing manner. Breath and movement are linked sequentially, awakening dormant energies and resulting in a light, strong, flexible body and a calm, centered mind. You will learn more of the sequence as you are ready, and if you forget, the teacher is there to help you. Practicing in this way gives you the space to focus and learn to meditate. The cue to move on to the next posture comes from your own breath, rather than the teacher's instructions. Practitioners can therefore spend a little longer working at their own pace on something they find challenging. If there is a posture you are unable to do, you will be given the means to work towards it over time. Soft spoken guidance will be given whenever necessary.
Breath, bandha, and drishti are the heart of Ashtanga Yoga and the means to quieting the mind. Students of all levels from absolute beginner through seasoned practitioner will find inspiration and mindful support for their practice.
