Frequently Asked Questions
Can I practice Ashtanga Yoga without knowing the sequence?
Yes. In Mysore-style classes, students of all levels practice together in the same room. You are welcome to join the lessons and begin learning the system from the very beginning. With time, individual guidance and consistent practice, you will gradually learn the sequence at your own pace.
How long does a lesson take?
The practice window is 2 hours, but within that time each student decides how long their personal practice will be. In the beginning, the practice is usually shorter, and it naturally extends over time. The finishing postures and final relaxation are included in the practice, and sufficient time should be allowed for them, as they are an essential part of the method.
How often should I practice?
Traditionally, Mysore practice is designed for six days a week. However, your commitment to practice should always be adapted to your individual circumstances. The most important thing is to establish a routine that allows you to practice regularly, progress steadily, and experience the benefits of this method.
Why are Moon Days rest days?
According to traditional teachings, the intense combined gravitational influence of the sun and moon during these lunar phases is believed to disrupt the body’s natural energy and fluid balance. Moon Days are considered especially auspicious for meditation, self-inquiry, study, and quiet reflection.
