Class Descriptions
All Levels Mysore
Mysore style yoga is the traditional method in which Ashtanga Yoga is taught and learned. Mysore is NOT a lead class; rather, students arrive during the allotted class time, allowing enough time to complete their Ashtanga Yoga practices before class closes. The students move through their own practices while the teacher walks around the room and provides individual verbal instruction. It is like a private yoga class in a group setting! Plan to arrive within the first hour of class.
There is no prerequisite to take this class.....come on in or enter the zoom room, this is class is offered online and in-person, and we will teach you from the very beginning. If you are new to Mysore and/or the Ashtanga Yoga method, this class is a great way to get started in a comfortable environment with other students new to the method as well.
Beginners welcome! There is no yoga or fitness level prerequisite to take this class.....come on in and we will teach you from the very beginning.
