Ashtanga Yoga is a system of breathing and movement through a set sequence of postures, gradually learned by each student, based on their own rhythm and needs. This traditional system is designed to purify and balance body and mind.
Mysore Lessons

In these lessons, each student follows their own routine based on their capacities and learns the series with patience and consistency, posture by posture under the teacher’s supervision and guidance. The teacher offers hands-on adjustments when appropriate and assesses readiness to move on to the next posture or asana.
