Ashtanga Yoga Mysore Style

Ashtanga Yoga Mysore Style
This is the traditional teaching method of the Ashtanga Yoga system. The oldest teacher Sri K. Pattabhi Jois teaches this method in his school in the Indian town of Mysore, hence the name “Mysore Style” used to describe this particular type of classes.

In Ashtanga Yoga Mysore Style class each student exercises independently the Ashtanga Yoga series in their own tempo, and the teacher assists and corrects if and when necessary, which is basically an individual class in group surrounding.

Ashtanga Yoga series are taught posture after posture, and new postures are added when the student is ready, so most of the time the student practices without the teacher’s leading. The classes of independent exercising unite students with different abilities, from absolute beginners to experienced athletes.
