Mysore Style Ashtanga
No classes on Moon Days (Full or New Moon).
Ashtanga Yoga:
Ashtanga yoga focuses on a specific sequence of postures (asanas), which are linked through movement (vinyasas) and breath (pranayama). The unique aspects to this practice include engagement of the internal locks (bandhas) and deep breathing (sometimes called “ocean breath”) which are used to assist the regulation of the flow of energy or life force (prana). Ashtanga is an athletic flow combining strength, flexibility and stamina for a complete practice.
Mysore Style:
Self practice with an Instructor assisting you. This class is taught as Ashtanga Yoga is taught in India, you are not cued through the class, you do your yoga practice while an instructor is present to assist you. Students practice the Ashtanga sequence of postures to their own ability and at their own pace. The teacher assists each student individually by giving physical adjustments and verbal instructions. This is the best class to get individual attention during a class setting, and is the preferred form of practice!
