Classes explained

MYSORE PRACTICE

Traditionally yoga is taught from teacher to student with individual instructions and physical adjustments. Mysore style practice is exactly that.
It is a group class where each student practices at their own pace with individual guidance from the teacher. Step-by-step you learn a set sequence of postures and repeat the postures each time you practice. Over time more postures will be added to your practice. Class times vary according to your level of experience. This is the most accessible and best way to learn and practice Ashtanga yoga and available to all levels of practitioner.

LED CLASS Primary series / Intermediate series

A class for students with a regular Ashtanga yoga practice. Its an opportunity to deepen your practice with emphasis on the correct vinyasa count and drishti in each asana. The Intermediate class is for people who practice at least up to Pincha Mayurasana.

ASHTANGA ONLINE CLASS

If you can’t make it to our regular classes in the shala you can join us online via zoom. Students new to Ashtanga need to email us before class: practice@ashyoga.com.au

Beginners - FAQ's

Can I come if I have never done Ashtanga yoga before?

Yes, absolutely. In a Mysore class each student is taught individually, so the classes are suitable for all levels and beginners are always very welcome.

How does an Ashtanga Yoga Mysore Style class work?

The Mysore class is designed to ‘drop in’. This means you can turn up any time during the class. Each student is guided individually by the teacher to learn the sequence and system at a suitable pace.

How long is a Mysore class?

For a beginner the class takes approx. 45-60 min. With more experience the practice might take 60-90 minutes.

How many days per week should I practice?

According to the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga method it is intended that you practice 6 days per week with the exception of the full and new moon days, which are additional rest days. This way of practicing requires a sustainable approach that is very different from practicing only a few times per week. We teach and practice according to this method and therefore recommend a daily practice. Of course, we understand that 6 days a week is not suitable for everyone and welcome every practitioner to our community.

Women should take additional rest during the first 2-3 days of their period.
