Mysore Style Practice

Mysore-style 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.

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.

Iyengar Inspired Focus Classes

Iyengar-inspired focus classes draw on the precision and detail of the Iyengar method to complement Ashtanga practice. These sessions slow down the pace to explore alignment, structure, and key actions within postures, often using props to make the practice more accessible and to highlight subtle refinements. The emphasis is on stability, awareness, and clarity, giving students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of both foundational and advanced asanas. By integrating this careful attention to detail, the focus classes support safe progression, build strength and mobility, and enrich the discipline of regular Ashtanga practice.

Dhyana (Meditation) & Pranayama (Breathwork)

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.”
