In the astanga led class the teacher leads the class through a part or the whole of the primary or any other series of the astanga yoga system – attentively, slowly and with focus.
Aside from regular self-practice, following a led class a few times a month is encouraged to learn the correct vinyasa for the sequence.
This is a dynamic and physically demanding form of focused movement. Over time, you will build a familiarity with the sequence and poses, enabling you to explore the possibilities within each one and the practice as a whole.
We offer led classes at both beginners level for those who are new to practice, and all levels/experienced for those who are physically more advanced in their self-practice.
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a traditional system of hatha yoga created by K. Pattabhi Jois during the 20th century, often promoted as a modern-day form of classical Indian yoga, based of the way he learnt the system from his teacher, Tirumalai Krishnamacharya. The style is hot and energetic, synchronising breath with movements and concentration techniques. The individual poses (asanas) are linked by flowing movements (vinyasas).
K. Pattabhi Jois established his Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in 1948.
What is Mysore?
Mysore refers to the town South of India where this style originated from. Mysore style is best described as a self practice in a group setting, Mysore style is the traditional way that the Ashtanga system of yoga is taught and learned. Students come to class and practice the Ashtanga series at their own pace, level and capacity with the individual support from their teacher and the energy of a group practice.
This self practice method allows the student to work at their own pace while still receiving individual one - on - one hands on adjustments and personal attention from the teacher. The instructor teaches the postures to each student, making unique recommendations based on individual needs. Postures are given one by one, time is taken to master each posture before progressing to the next. Mysore classes help students to develop a consistent self practice. This class is open to everyone and is appropriate for both beginner and advanced students. It is recommended but not necessary that you participate in a led Ashtanga class before joining the Mysore style class in order to familiarize yourself with the sequence.
