Ashtanga Mysore Yoga is the traditional method of teaching and learning ashtanga yoga. Students are guided through practice with 1-on-1 guidance of a teacher in a group setting, respecting silence as much as possible.

Progression through the practice occurs at an individual pace. Postures are added incrementally according to each practitioners ability and readiness while it's never the goal to just add postures - this is not the purpose of yoga, yoga goes beyond asana (postures). This readiness considers the mental and emotional aspects as well as the physical capacity, the breath playing a most fundamental role here.

Students new to Ashtanga and to Mysore style practice are welcome and encouraged to come along, we love welcoming beginners to our practice and school! This incremental elaboration and extension of practice offers the safest and most sustainable approach. It allows the body and the nervous system to integrate this potent transformative methodology in a compassionate and life-supporting way that suits the individual - each student's practice will be different yet in essence the same. Moreover, this approach offers the potential for genuine Parinamah ( transformation ) and for healing to occur.

Practical Information:
*Arrive at the school anywhere between 6.50-8.30h
*July-August all Mysore classes are from 7.00-9.30h, thus teaching is until 9.20ish.

*Practice compassion towards yourself and others.

You can join our online Mysore on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. These practices will be live-streamed from the yoga school.

*It's ok to start earlier (if you know the practice already) and thus log yourself into the meeting earlier.
*It's ok to start after 7.00h

.
*Teaching ends at 8.50h and the meeting will be closed at 9.00, if you are still in your practice, please continue.

Today is our very last practice in our old shala at the Damsterdiep. And what an amazing atmosphere we have created here together. Time for.a special practice: Maxi will guide you through a pranayama and Chandra Krama this morning.

Chandra Krama, or the Moon Sequence, is an alternative therapeutic Vinyasa Krama sequence accessible to students of all traditions, also beginners.

This self-care class begins with breath work. From there we transition into a gentle vinyasa flow, moving slowly deeper while bringing continuous awareness to the breath and inner sensations, relaxing and soothing the nervous system. We finish with a series of nurturing restorative poses.

This self-care class is for everyone who wants to feel:
-more calm instead of overwhelmed
-more present and at home in their body and mind
-rejuvenated after a busy work week
-more focused to live their best life possible
-more empowered

This self-care class is suitable for all levels of yoga practitioners, and is also a great practice for all Mysore Practitioners to join!

Make sure to arrive both at the shala by 6.55am so there is enough time to set yourself up!


Good to know:
*We start at 7.00am sharp, make sure you arrive at the yoga school by 6.55h to set yourself up. At 6.59 the doors close.
*In case you have injuries, please let me know prior to class
*Make sure you can stay until 8.30h.
