Weekly Schedule

Mysore Self-Practice Class
At Mysore Classes beginners and experienced practitioners practise together, each at her/his own level and receive one-to-one guidance and adjustment.
This is the traditional way in which Ashtanga Yoga is taught. Students learn the correct sequence of postures of primary Series, each according to their own specific needs and capacity.This gives everyone a Yoga practice appropriate to them and helps them to develop good practice habits and to benefit to the maximum from their Yoga.
