Mysore Style
“Mysore” is named after the city in South India where Mira Wøhlk learned and still studies this method from her main teacher Sharath Jois, who learned from his grandfather Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.
The Mysore practice is an individual practice in a group (setting), where you have the opportunity to deepen your own practice and follow your own breath among other practitioners in the authentic tradition and method of Ashtanga Yoga as it has been taught in India for centuries and is still taught today. It requires a strong and dedicated commitment to apply the necessary effort.
You build a relationship with a qualified teacher who are dedicating a good portion of their lives to the study and practice of the ancient tradition of Ashtanga Yoga as taught at KPJAYI in India. The teacher offers one on one instruction, guidance in alignment and breath work, hands on adjustments allowing for individualized attention and over time maybe more asanas (postures). This will allow the teacher to work closely with you as you settle into what will hopefully deepen your practice and become a long term daily practice.

☞All levels  are welcome - but it’s an advantage to have some practice experience with the sequence of Ashtanga Yoga before attending a Mysore class.

Drop-in students must have an existing Mysore practice.


Mysore Style Intro
This class is for those of you who are completely new to Ashtanga Yoga ‘Mysore style’. You will be taught the Primary Sequence of Ashtanga Yoga from the very beginning, starting with Surya Namaskara A. Once its been integrated and memorized, you will continue to be guided posture by posture in a specified order. Consequently, the first step in establishing a Mysore style practice becomes to memorize the sequence.

This method of practice eventually becomes a sort of self practice, as you move through a sequence at your own pace, alongside other practitioners moving through their practice and always with the support and guidance of a teacher. The teacher offers one on one instruction and hands on adjustments.                                    

All classes other than Mysore Style are considered ‘guided’. Varying in level, here are the guided classes we offer:
