Mysore

Mysore Class

Generally speaking, daily Ashtanga practice happens in a “Mysore Style class.”(Mysore is a city in southern India where the physical practice is rooted.

Although students practice together in the same room, it is not a typical “group class”. Students are encouraged to start their practice at any time within the timeframe of the class so long as they have enough time to finish. Guidance is offered to students on an individual level, taking into account the skill and capabilities of the practitioner so that their practice can flourish. Much of the learning in a Mysore class is based on your relationship with your teacher, they are observing you practice daily, and can provide feedback in hands on and verbal instruction.
