Mysore/Self Practice

The term Mysore refers to Mysore, India, the place of origin of the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga practice. Mysore classes are taught in the lineage passed down from Sri. K Pattabhi Jois , from the southern Indian city of Mysore. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga has traditionally been taught on a one on one basis. Historically, it was the way to learn Ashtanga Yoga. Mysore classes are an opportunity to develop a personal practice that one can have for life. This class in not “led/guided” as a whole but rather all instruction is one-on-one within a group class setting. Students practice, independently, their own portion of the Ashtanga sequencing of postures at their own pace, starting with learning the Primary Series. The teacher is present to support and assist each student individually by giving physical adjustments and verbal instructions with the series, the vinyasa system, and postural alignment. If a student has trouble with a particular asana, the teacher can offer a modification for a posture that is consistent with the intention of the practice.
