MYSORE STYLE
What makes this practice unique
Mysore Style is the traditional form of Ashtanga Yoga. Unlike a led class, each student practices their own sequence, at their own pace. You learn one pose at a time , the sequence builds, becomes memorized, and becomes yours.
No performance. Just the simple repetition of a gesture, day after day.
At your own pace
No competition. You progress according to your body, your day, your level in respect of your limits.
