This method of classical yoga practice involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive sequence of postures (Vinyasa or Flow) - a process producing internal heat and a purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs.

Starting with Sun Salutations, the sequence then moves into standing poses, which constitute the warm-up part of the practice. The Primary Series consists of seated forward bending poses and twists with a few backbends at the end. The sequence then moves to the cool down poses, consisting of inversions, cross-legged sitting poses and pranayama. Postures are held for 5 breaths and there is no rest in-between the poses. It is a moving meditatation coordinating breath with movement and meditating on breath in poses. Many more poses are practiced in both Ashtanga and Vinyasa, then in Hatha style classes. This is a more vigorous practice than other traditional approaches.

Mysore Ashtanga means, the way it was taught in Mysore, India, by it's founder Pattabhi Jois, and now his grandson, Sharath. The class is not led, but rather students slowly learn the sequence and move through it with phyisical and verbal assisance from the teacher. People are moving at their own pace and practicing the poses that they can do (always in the same order) and come and leave at anytime during the practice (you don't have to come right on time and stay until the end), it depends on how long your practice is and how much time you have that day. Some people may be working on the second series of poses. When the class says Led, that means the teacher will talk you through the entire sequence of poses (or most of them) as a group. Saturdays are always led and Thursdays as needed. M/T/W/F are Mysore practice.

This class is appropriate for everyone who is ready to begin humbly and simply. It will be much easier if you have some level of physical fitness. There will be more need for propping, modifying and resting in the beginning, and if not physically fit, but it is entirely doable. Ashtanga is meant to be a 6 day a week practice, for life. That is how progress happens. Be prepared to sweat. Vigorous.

Verbal, precise and actively corrected, Iyengar Inspired Alignment classes will make you aware of misalignments and how to correct them, improve your posture, and encourage being in the present moment. You will explore basic poses more deeply, as well as practice intermediate and advanced poses. By repeating poses and staying in them longer, you have time to discover a deeper level of understanding of both basic and more refined levels of alignment: inner and outer, shape and direction, form and function. Being still in a pose will become effortless and joyful.
