mysore style ashtanga yoga
7am-10am monday-thursday
is a self paced practice. given to you individually by a teacher. it’s the original way students have learned the practice for centuries now and how to grow under the watchful eye of your teacher. arrive anytime that works with your schedule and finish by 10am. give yourself 90 minutes for practice. i encourage beginners to come at 8:30, but beginner students are welcome at any time to any class and will be guided through by our skilled teachers and assistants.
led primary series
8:30-10am friday + Sunday
a guided practice in which the teacher leads students through the full sequence of postures in the Primary Series, known as Yoga Chikitsa or “Yoga Therapy.” The instructor calls out each pose and its corresponding vinyasa count in Sanskrit, maintaining a steady rhythm that synchronizes breath and movement. Students flow together as one, focusing on breath, gaze, and alignment rather than self-paced exploration. The class emphasizes discipline, endurance, and concentration, offering a dynamic, meditative experience that builds strength, flexibility, and inner stillness.
not practicing on moon days allows the body to rest and heal, aligning with the natural cycles of the universe.
CoME TO CLASS!
