Intro to Mysore Style Yoga: A 1.5-Hour Workshop

If you’ve been curious about Mysore style and want a clear introduction before joining a class, this 1.5-hour workshop offers a welcoming place to begin. It is designed to take the mystery out of the method and support you in approaching a self-paced practice with confidence.

Mysore style is the traditional approach to Ashtanga yoga. Instead of following a teacher-led class all at once, each student moves through the sequence at an individual rhythm, with personalized guidance from the instructor. This format helps create a steady, sustainable practice that can gradually develop strength, endurance, flexibility, and concentration.

In this workshop, we will:

• Explain how a Mysore class is structured
• Outline the Ashtanga sequence
• Set expectations, including how the practice is learned and remembered from one class to the next
• Look at individualized instruction and hands-on adjustments
• Practice essential foundational postures together
• Cover how to enter and leave a Mysore room with ease

This workshop is ideal for:

• Students who are new to Ashtanga yoga
• Practitioners interested in Mysore style
• Anyone hoping to build more consistency and independence in practice

Arrive ready to move, ask questions, and gain a clearer understanding of this transformative method.
