Ashtanga – a practice for life

In our classes students practice in a group setting but are instructed individually. That’s why we have students of all levels and abilities practice together and each student can progress at their pace. Students new to Mysore style practice, are required to commit to a month of regular classes in order to learn the method correctly. (No prior experience is required.) Practice takes approximately 60 minutes but can be as little as 10 minutes if you are short on time.

Our Ashtanga Mysore style classes run every morning from Sunday to Friday, except on Full and New moon days. Please see moon calendar for dates. If you are new to the studio, please register before class to safe time when you arrive on your first day.

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.

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 (ONCE A MONTH)

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’s (gazing points) in each asana. Dates will be published on our website and on Instagram, follow Ash to stay in the loop: https://www.instagram.com/ashhope.yoga/

FITTMIND

This class is taking the principles for physical fitness and applying them to the mind. The class will begin with some gentle stretches, followed by introductory breathing exercises and a series of meditations and mind awareness techniques. The class will conclude with a full body rest to allow the body and mind to integrate and relax. Wear comfortable clothes suitable for gentle movement and bring your yoga mat and cushion to sit on if desired. Find more details here: www.gosmith.com.au

ASHTANGA ONLINE CLASS

If you can’t make it to our regular classes in the shala you can join us online. This is a guided class through Primary series. More experienced students are welcome to practice ‘Mysore’ style with individual guidance. Students new to Ashtanga need to email us before class: practice@ashyoga.com.au

ZAZEN/ MEDITATION

If you are looking for greater focus, concentration and calmness than sit with us. Give your mind a break and join our drop-in meditation classes. No experience required, just bring a cushion. We sit for 30 minutes and we ask to leave quietly if you need to go earlier.
