"Mysore Style" refers to the traditional method of transmission of Ashtanga that Sri K. Pattabhi Jois employed at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India.
This is a self-guided class where students practice at their own pace, following the rhythm of their own breath rather than the group collective following the prompting of the instructor. At it's core, Ashtanga is a breathing practice therefore giving the necessity for students to learn how to synchronize their own breath and movement patterns. The instructor works with students individually making corrections and facilitating the practice environment while trusting that the practice itself, done over time with consistency and proper attitude will bring the most benefits. In your first class, Surya Namaskar (sun salutation) is introduced together with a brief meditative exercise. This establishes an understanding of the dynamics of the Ashtanga Vinyasa method. New postures, sequences and series will be added progressively to safely and effectively master the various aspects of Ashtanga. Students are instructed individually so one could think of this as a private lesson within the group dynamic. Many levels of students from absolute beginners to seasoned practitioners find this to be the most detailed and thorough way to understand the practice of yoga.
You are not required to stay for the entire class length. Allow 45 minutes for the first few classes. Gradually, as you learn more of the Primary Series, your practice time will increase.
