Ashtanga Yoga!

The Ashtanga Yoga method we are referring to here is the yoga asana practice developed by Sri K Pattabhi Jois and his teacher, TKV Krishnamacharya. The student begins with the first series of poses, often referred to as the Primary Series. Poses are practiced in a prearranged order with specific attention given to the breath and alignment.

a led Primary Series class (Coming Soon!) involves the teacher giving verbal cues for moving through the practice, setting the pace for the asana as well as the breath.

*We will soon be offering Led Primary on some Sunday afternoons (12:00-1:45 pm).

a mysore practice (Mon-Fri, 6:30-8:30) allows the student freedom to work through the series at his or her personal pace, a teacher is present to give assistance and answer questions, but is not giving instruction to the class at large. In a mysore practice most students will begin and end their practices at different times.

Mysore reminders:

*For the time being, mysore will be personal practice. A teacher will be available for questions and clarifications, but not to lead new students through the practice. For this reason, drop in to mysore practice is $7.50; 5 and 10 class packages can be applied.

*Opening prayer is at 7:00 am.

*There will be no practice on Moon Days, as is the tradition at the AYRI.
