Description
This class is NOT a guided class and there will be no verbal group instruction from the teacher. *New Students please arrive 15 minutes before the start of the scheduled class time*
Mysore is the traditional method for learning Ashtanga yoga and offers a highly personalized approach. Each student works individually with the teacher within a group setting to build a self practice following the Ashtanga Series. Postures are learned one by one and tailored to meet ones specific physical needs and ability level according to the guidance of the teacher. Our Mysore classes are perfect for all levels - brand new to seasoned practitioner, young and old, flexible and inflexible, injured or in perfect health.
In a Mysore class, students do their own Ashtanga yoga practice while being given personalized instructions and adjustments from the teacher. Mysore style is considered to be the ideal and safest way to begin an Ashtanga practice since the practice is adapted to the individual rather than generalized as in a group class.
You can drop into a mysore session at any time and stay for as long as you wish. 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 that you can then take anywhere.
Practicing in this way gives you the space to focus. The cue to move on to the next posture comes from your own breath, instead of a teacher's instructions. Students can therefore spend a little longer working at their own pace on something they find challenging. In effect, you become your own teacher. If there is something you are unable to do, the teacher will give you an easier version and assist you with modifications.
Sessions are characterized by the sound of ujjayi breathing – a powerful, rhythmic, "heating" breath. Everyone is working at their own pace; little verbal instruction is given, and when it is given, it is directed individually for the benefit of the one person it is intended for.
