CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Led Class (Guided Sanskrit counted class)
In these classes, the teacher will verbally guide you through the primary series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Covering a partial or modified series, led classes are available to all levels, with options for the full led class if you are established in another dynamic yoga method or the beginner modified sequence for beginners. These classes move quickly,
In this class, the teacher guides the group through Primary Series – the first and most important sequence of Ashtanga Yoga, known for its therapeutic qualities. Apart from the yoga poses, students learn how to connect the breath with the movement into a flowing meditative practice.
We also offer led intermediate classes depending on the students’ practice and capabilities. These classes will be in addition to the schedule, and each ready student will be informed of this privately.
As mentioned, if you are an absolute beginner or prefer a slower-paced class, we suggest you attend the evening classes or the 8:30 am Mysore class.
Class is around 90 mins.
Mysore
The traditional method is still used in Mysore today. You will be practising at your own pace under the guidance of one or more teachers.
Individual, hands-on adjustments are offered, and you can request as much (or as little) help as you want. Adjustments help us understand what the posture should feel like in our body and can assist us in the connection between passive and active stretching. The goal eventually is for the individual to train the body to perform the posture on their own, but with hands-on assistance, we are able to obtain correct alignment, strength and flexibility.
Mysore empowers students to take the practice into their own hands and allows the individual to lean deeper into meditation as they practice, as the awareness turns inwards.
Memory of at least the sequence comprising sun salutations and some standing poses is helpful. Teachers will be there to guide you anyway, so if you are an already existing yoga practitioner and have a good understanding of Yoga asana, it will be easy for you to pick up the sequence. Depending on your experience, you may practice a shorter sequence to prepare the body; however, you will be introduced to new postures as your practice deepens.
For beginners to Mysore, you can join the later morning classes (8:30 am) to receive more assistance where needed.
Class is around 90 mins.
Ashtanga Vinyasa Alignment Workshop.

We will break through the different asanas and transitions of the Ashtanga Vinyasa System.
Class is around 90 mins.
