Personal yoga practice with collective energy
Mysore (Self-Practice) is a method of instruction/study where we give students one-on-one guidance either giving verbal instructions or by giving hands-on adjustments. A Mysore space is dynamic with students of different levels practicing together. New students are taught a few postures at a time, in a way that suits their individual needs. Over time, we work on deepening our mind-body understanding of such postures.
Benefits:
- Ashtanga yoga which focuses on the same sequence of postures daily quickly cultivate strength and flexibility. The method of learning which asks students to not just remember but absorb the postures, creates more mental awareness and focus.
- Ashtanga Yoga, when practiced with regularity, is a tool for transformation. As one’s practice changes and expands as does the practitioner, making it a mind-body-spirit experience.
