Class descriptions
Mysore Style Classes
are Ashtanga Yoga classes, as traditionally practiced in Mysore, India, the home of the late Sri K. P. Jois. The Mysore class is a group class where students have a self-paced practice, with verbal instruction and hands-on adjustments from the teacher. Because the instruction in a Mysore class is highly individualized, it is appropriate for both new students as well as more advanced practitioners. This unique combination of individualized pace and instruction within a group class gives each student the ability to work at his/her own level, while enjoying the inspiration and energy of a group. Each student is taught and supported by the teacher as he/she/they memorizes the sequence and develops a personal rhythm to the practice. This class is appropriate for students of all levels and is an excellent opportunity to develop a practice that can slowly build over a lifetime. Knowing the sequence of postures is not required, just being open-minded, curious, and receptive to learning.
Led Class
is very important for more experienced practitioners as a compliment to a regular Mysore practice, or for students who are newer to the practice and are learning the sequence. In a led class, the teacher leads the group, with synchronized breath and movement, through the traditional first series in the Ashtanga system. The led class teaches proper pacing, proper vinyasa (specific movement coordinated to the appropriate inhales and exhales), and correct sequencing. One of the beautiful aspects of the led class is the surrender to the teacher’s count as it instills a sense of discipline. It keeps students focused, pointing out where the mind wanders or where there is fidgeting. It is an opportunity to refine practice with the support of the group and the teacher.
When vinyasa is perfect, the mind is under control. –Sri K. P. Jois
