Ashtanga Mysore

This self-paced class follows the traditional method of Ashtanga Yoga that is taught in Mysore, South India. Students are individually and gradually taught the Ashtanga Primary Series until they memorise the sequence and are able to practise it on their own. Once the foundational basics are practised with a high level of competency, students can expect to move towards more advanced practice. The Ashtanga opening chant is an intrinsic part of this Yoga tradition and is included. Suitable for all levels of practitioners. Students are required to take 10 yoga classes before attending an Ashtanga Mysore class (Ashtanga Basics or Ashtanga 1 are strongly recommended). Beginners need to work closely with the teacher during their entire Ashtanga Mysore practice. Secure your Ashtanga Mysore Class Pack or upgrade your membership to reserve a spot. Note: Students must enter the class with a minimum of 60 minutes to practise. Beginners' practice may last 30-45 min.
