Self-Practice is what yoga is all about. For thousands of years Yoga, has been taught from teacher to student on a one-to-one basis taking a student through his or her own development at each individuals appropriate pace. Mysore yoga classes are based on this very same teaching method which the late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois taught at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India for over 70 years. In these classes, each student practices the Ashtanga Yoga system at their own pace with individual instruction and adjustments from the teacher. This class is an all levels class and beginners are welcome. Students new to Ashtanga are not expected to know the sequence. New students will begin with a short practice given by the teacher built upon Suryanamaskara A & B (sun salutations) and move into the Primary Series of Ashtanga pose-by-pose. Poses are added gradually to ensure a safe yet challenging experience according to ability and commitment. This allows for a deeper connection to develop between teacher, student, and the practice. An on-going student finds an opportunity to refine the practice and gain the ability to move efficiently without being led verbally by a teacher through each series.
The hallmarks of this method are its
emphasis on self-reliance and independence in the process of developing
a personal yoga practice, internal awareness and strength.
*Please take note of
the Mysore class timings. The studio doors are open for a two and a half hour time
period and students are welcome to come and go as their schedule allows
throughout this allotted time. |
