*Morning mysore classes are not held on Full & New moon days.
This is not a group led class, so please familiarize yourself with this content if you're new to the Mysore format. This method is ideal for beginners because they are instructed individually. The advantages of individual instruction are many, but notably for beginners, individual instruction creates a solid foundation and is particularly helpful for specific health concerns or problems.
The Mysore method is often called 'assisted or guided self-practice. On your first day of class, expect to practice only what you know by heart (except beginners, see above). With consistent attendance more postures will be added to your existing practice. Students may begin their practice anytime during the class duration, so long as they finish by end of class.
Mysore class is the traditional teaching method of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois for over 65 years at his school in Mysore, India. This unique style is the essence of the Ashtanga Yoga approach. Postures in the Ashtanga series are learned one-by-one, thus easily memorized,with students practicing at a pace measured by their own breath-rhythm. The teacher provides individual instruction and assistance, tailoring the practice to specific needs of each student. With guidance and hands-on adjustments from the teacher, students receivethe attention necessary to learn, work, and progress at an individual pace and ability. Working at the appropriate level, one-to-one with a teacher, is essential in developing a safe and fulfilling practice.
Mysore classes cultivate the true spirit of yoga in your practice, combining students of mixed levels together in order for everyone to benefit from the group energy. This environment is unique to Ashtanga Yoga and allows for a deep meditative state, regardless of one's ability or experience. The Mysore approach prevents stagnancy within the consistent sequence of Ashtanga, thus the constantly evolving experience keeps students dynamic within their practice.
Though learning something new is not necessarily easy, learning Ashtanga Yoga in a Mysore class setting is simple. In your first class, you'll be taught the Sun Salutations, a series of movements/postures that form the physical foundation of the practice. You'll also be introduced to the three fundamental techniques which form the internal practice. Rather than a bombardment of information, you'll delve more thoroughly into a manageable amount.
With consistent attendance you'll move deeper into the practice, learning new postures as you retain and refine what you have been taught. No expectations are placed on students in regards to "progress" in the practice. Students are always encouraged to practice at their own pace.
