About the Mysore Classes
In the Mysore class, at the teacher’s guidance, students work through the traditional ashtanga practice. For newer students, a first practice is usually about 45 minutes. When beginning the Mysore style class, part of it is memorizing the ashtanga sequence. So I will teach people the Sun Salutations, and some standing postures, and a closing sequence. In Mysore class, students are all working through the same sequence, but they have different stopping points - so some students will take 90 minutes for their practice and newer students have a shorter practice. I find this style of yoga to be the most transformative because a student can go deep into the practice rather than just skimming the surface.
