What is Mysore style class?
Mysore Ashtanga Yoga is the traditional method of learning the Ashtanga Yoga method as taught byR.Sharath Jois in Mysore, India. Passed on by his grandfather Pattabhi Jois. Each student works at their own pace during the class with the teacher on hand to provide assistance and adjustment when required.
The student is required to commit the practice to memory one posture at a time, with new postures being added when the student is ready. The fundamentals of the practice are the Tristana – Breath, Asana and Drishti.
The class is suitable for all levels - even complete beginners - as the students are taught individually whilst in a group setting. The practice encourages students to connect with their breath and turn their focus inward so it becomes like a moving meditation.
Mysore style Ashtanga Yoga is a safe and most beneficial way to practice yoga.
All students are taught individually within a group environment so you’ll benefit from one to one instruction, and learn at a pace that suits you.
That means no more struggling to keep up with the rest of the class!
Because you’re practicing at your own pace you’ll be able to focus on your breath and your practice will take on a meditative quality never before experienced.
If you’ve never practiced yoga before you’ll receive a personalised one to one introduction for the price of a regular group class (approx. 45 mins).
If you have an established practice you’ll grow your practice under guidance of an experienced Level 2 Authorised teacher.
You’ll benefit from a community of friendly like-minded practitioners who will help keep you motivated.
What is Led class?
Led class is the series of asana (poses) or vinyasa (movement with breathe system) counted in Sanskrit. Each asana (posture) is linked with inhalation and exhalation (breathing in and breathing out).
If you are new to the practice and feel like you would like to attend please discuss this with Michelle.
