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 8.50-9.30h
*Finish your practice (including savasana) by 11.00h
*Practice compassion towards yourself and others.

In this class everyone is doing their practice with one-on-one guidance from Maxi. This is a great class for newcomers and established practitioners. Everyone will receive individual advice and guidance.

Practical Points:

*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 9.00h
*You will be muted to prevent background noise. During the Mysore part of the class, if needed for explanation Maxi will unmute you
*Teaching on Tuesdays and Thursdays ends at 11.00h

Today we had to switch to self-practice (Thian will be hosting it).

There is no teacher present to assist you, but all who are currently practicing at Bhumi Yoga can join and benefit from the supportive group energy and shala.

Once every month (always on a different weekday) we offer a Full Led Primary with the Sanskrit Vinyasa Count and a yoga talk afterwards.

Doors open depending on which week day the monthly Led class falls on:
-Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6.45h. We start at 7.00 sharp together, so be there a bit earlier
-Tuesday and Thursday at 8.45h. We start at 9.00h sharp, so be there a little earlier.

All practitioners of Ashtanga Mysore are welcome to join, regardless of how far you are in your practice.

In this led class you practice until where you usually practice in your Mysore practice and then perhaps try a few of the next poses and/or observe before we get to backbends together.

So much (!!) is learned by observing, really! And as always: It's not the goal to get anywhere and no-one is a better or worse yogi because they are / not doing full series - whether you practice full primary already just really doesn't matter. Just join with an open attitude.

The class is a great benefit to understand the energy of and harvest focus in the transitions between the state of an asana - this is often where we loose focus. How we get in and out of a situation is very important for the situation and what develops from there.

Moreover, Maxi will give technical and verbal cues while all are moving together building up a strong, focused energy.

After class Maxi will give a small talk about anything inspiring and relevant to our practice.

Altogether a very beneficial and complementary class for the Mysore practice.

PRACTICAL:
- This class is NOT suitable for complete newcomers to Ashtanga Yoga. In the traditional led class the poses themselves are NOT explained (for this we have the daily Mysore practice). In the traditional led class Maxi will provide the rhythm of the vinyasa count and provide a few cues. If you are a complete beginner join come to our Mysore class.
- We start at 7.00h sharp on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays AND on 9.00h on Tuesdays and Thursdays
- Make sure you can stay until 8.30h for Monday, Wednesday or Friday and 10.30h for Tuesday and Thursdays when Led class practice ends. It's ok if you have to leave at 8.30h / 10.30h in case you cannot join the short talk.
