Registered students may arrive anytime between 6:15AM and 7:15AM to BEGIN practice. All students must be completely finished with practice, including rest and clean up by 8:45AM. Mysore style classes share their namesake with their birthplace of Mysore, India. This is the traditional method of passing on the teachings of Yoga from teacher to student in a one on one fashion. Students practice together in the same room however, everyone moves at their own pace, receives specific and individual instruction from the teacher, and progresses at a speed appropriate for their ability. Mysore classes are a progressive learning experience in that postures, breathing techniques, and philosophies are learned over a period of time. As a student integrates what he or she has learned and is ready for more, the teaching advances - because of this approach, Mysore Classes are not “drop in” classes. To reap the benefits of a Mysore practice a student must be ready and willing to commit to practicing with us a minimum of two to three mornings per week. All individuals may practice Mysore Ashtanga - it is truly one of the best ways to begin. While it may seem intimidating at first, after the first few breaths all students will feel right at home.
