Intro to Ashtanga – Mysore Style
Learn the traditional practice of Ashtanga yoga as taught in Mysore, India today. Ashtanga is a sequence of poses learned with breathing and concentration techniques. “Mysore Style” means the poses are taught to the student individually within a group setting. Kind and supportive guidance is offered and the practice is modified as needed as you learn at your own pace. Ashtanga is a dynamic style of vinyasa yoga that can be challenging for the mind and body, some memorization and commitment to show up is necessary in order to benefit from the practice. Learning the sequence slowly over time is the traditional way of practicing Ashtanga, this builds strength, flexibility, and purifies the mind and body. The teacher will guide you one-on-one through both verbal and hands-on assists if welcomed. Connect to your Self, explore your breath, establish a personal practice, and build community in this supportive space. Class also includes chanting of the Ashtanga opening and closing mantras through call & response with the teacher, a traditional way to begin and end the practice.
