Curious about Ashtanga Yoga & Mysore-Style Classes? Start here!

Mysore yoga offers a beautifully personalized approach to learning Ashtanga, making it ideal for beginners and those curious about exploring a new style of yoga. To help get you started, we've designed a 3-part workshop that introduces you to this transformative practice in a clear, accessible, and supportive way.

Unlike led yoga classes, traditional Mysore style classes allow you to practice at your own pace in a group setting. You'll receive one-on-one guidance from the teacher as you're introduced to the Primary Series of Ashtanga yoga, learning each pose step by step. This individualized attention ensures that the practice meets you exactly where you are, whether you are completely new to yoga or transitioning from a different style. 

In this workshop, you will:

Learn the foundational poses of the Primary Series and how to safely practice them.Develop essential breathing techniques (pranayama) to enhance your practice at home and in classes.Build confidence to seamlessly join our regularly scheduled Mysore classes.

 By the end of the course, you will have the tools and knowledge to cultivate an independent, sustainable yoga practice while feeling supported by the Mysore community. 

 Join us and experience the empowering benefits of Mysore style yoga- an approach that grows with you, wherever you are on your yoga journey!

Because of our daily sitting habits, rounded shoulders and tightness around the pelvis is at present a fairly common malady, back bending postures can be the perfect group of poses to counterbalance this problem. Though because of that same reason, they can also be the most difficult group of postures for many to approach.

In this workshop, we will take a look to the anatomy of the spine, its biomechanics, and how to approach back bending according to different body types. We will take a look to the most common back bending yoga postures in depth.

Beginner to advanced variations shown for each posture, drills and warm up sequences to get best out of them, and how to use props to support, expand and deepen your back bending practice regardless of your level. Please come with an empty stomach (at least 4 hours after a full meal, or 2 hours after a light meal). I am looking forward to see you all!
