Breath, movement, discipline, flow.
Mysore Style Practice
Mysore-style practice is the traditional way of learning Ashtanga Yoga, developed in Mysore, India, under the guidance of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. In this setting, each student practices the sequence at their own pace, receiving individual guidance and adjustments from the teacher. This balance of independence and support allows practitioners to progress gradually, cultivating strength, flexibility, and self-discipline while maintaining the meditative focus of the practice. Open to all levels, Mysore classes provide an inclusive environment where students can develop a sustainable practice rooted in the tradition of Ashtanga Yoga.
The Way of Practice
Sanskrit Counted led Classes
Ashtanga Sanskrit counted classes are a traditional expression of the method, where the teacher leads the group through the set sequence using the Sanskrit vinyasa count. This precise rhythm of breath and movement preserves the traditional flow of the practice, fostering focus, endurance, and a deeper immersion in the lineage of Ashtanga Yoga. Rather than focusing on alignment details, the counted class emphasises the continuity of movement and breath, guiding practitioners into a state of moving meditation. Best suited to those already familiar with the sequence, these classes refine understanding and honour the roots of the tradition.
Ashtanga Nāda
Ashtanga Nāda is the meeting point of breath, sound, and inner awareness, a practice where the audible rhythm of Ujjāyī becomes a living thread guiding each movement. Nāda, the subtle “inner sound,” draws the practitioner inward, revealing a practice shaped not by posture alone but by listening. Set to the pulse of live or recorded drums, these shorter sessions are challenging, sweaty, and highly focused, turning vinyasa into a rhythmic continuum and bandha into the quiet resonance behind the breath. The result is a deeply meditative yet physically enlivening exploration of the inner landscape — yoga as vibration, alignment through sound, stability through silence, and transformation through attentive practice.
Dhyana & Pranayama
Dhyāna (meditation) and Prāṇāyāma (breath regulation) are central limbs of yoga that cultivate stillness, clarity, and inner awareness. In these sessions, students are introduced to traditional breathing techniques designed to steady the mind, expand vital energy, and prepare the body for meditation. Guided sitting practices then offer the opportunity to turn inward, fostering concentration and insight while deepening the connection between breath and awareness. Together, these practices complement the physical discipline of āsana, supporting balance, calm, and the development of a more integrated yoga practice.
“In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s mind there are few.”
