Ashtanga Yoga is the name of the system of yoga taught by Sri K Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. The optimal way to learn this system is in a traditional Mysore-style "self-practice" class. Each student practices their given sequence at their own pace with personal guidance, including hands-on adjustments, from the teacher.

You don't need any yoga experience to begin Mysore practice. Step by step you learn the Primary Series, a dynamic flowing sequence of asanas (postures) incorporating ujjayi (a breathing technique), bandhas (internal "locks"), driste (gazing point) and vinyasa (breath-synchronized movement). All of these tools combined create heat in the body, improve flexibility, develop strength, build stamina and focus the mind.

"Flexible start time" means you can start any time, so long as you finish by the end time. You are most welcome to observe the classes before trying them out. The principal teacher Cathy Louise has over 20 years of Ashtanga experience. The other teachers are Glen, Yoko and Kara. For more information on Ashtanga click here
