For those new to yoga or returning after a break, the Basic Class is the ideal starting point. Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic, energetic style that’s perfect for people who enjoy a good workout and don’t mind breaking a sweat.

In the Led Primary Series class (advanced), the teacher guides the group through the Ashtanga Primary Series, calling out each posture and vinyasa (the breath-synchronized movements linking the postures). The entire group moves and breathes in unison, creating a highly focused, energetic environment. These classes are recommended for more experienced students as they help eliminate common self-practice pitfalls such as a wandering mind, disconnecting from the breath, or unnecessary fidgeting between postures. Led classes provide a chance to refine your technique and deepen your practice.

The Mysore self-practice method is the traditional way of practicing Ashtanga Yoga. In this format, the teacher doesn’t lead the group with verbal instructions or demonstrations. Instead, each student practices the series they have learned at their own pace. Beginners start with the sun salutations and a few standing postures. As they become more familiar with the sequence, the teacher gradually adds new postures, adjusting the pace to each student’s progress. This method encourages students to overcome distractions, develop concentration, and experience a more introspective, meditative practice.

For those interested in Mysore classes, feel free to send a private message to inquire about the timetable.

In Ashtanga Yoga, physical adjustments are a unique and integral aspect of the practice, setting it apart from most other yoga styles. Ashtanga teachers are highly trained to provide these hands-on adjustments with great care and mindfulness, helping students achieve correct alignment while deepening their practice safely. However, it's important to inform your teacher about any injuries, pregnancies, or if you're uncomfortable with physical contact, as not everyone may feel at ease with being touched during practice.
