MANNU.YOGA
Ashtanga Yoga is a system of Hatha Yoga developed by the late Krishna Pattabhi Jois in the south Indian city of Mysore.
The system’s philosophical background is based on Patanjali’s “Yoga Sutras”, an eight fold method for stilling the mind and turning all the organs of sensation inwards.
The physical aspect of the practice is rooted in the Vinyasa method for practising asana discovered by Jois and his teacher Sri. Tirumalai Krishnamacharya in an ancient and obscure text called “The Yoga Korunta”.

We call them Mysore style because this is the way that Sri K. Pattabhi Jois used to teach in the south Indian town of Mysore in India. This is also the way that his grandson R. Sharath Jois teaches there until today.
In a Mysore room the teacher doesn’t lead the class in the way classes are led in more popular and commercial Yoga classes. (except once a week).
"Mysore Style” classes
are the backbone
of the Ashtanga Yoga Method.
Ashtanga Mysore Style Yoga Classes
In a Mysore setting you might find students of different levels practising next to each other doing different practices at the same time and at their own individual pace. The teacher diligently watches everyones practice and helps each student, sometimes verbally and many times with hands on adjustments, in the key points of her/his personal practice. In a way, it is like a private class for each student with the added benefits of the group setting.
Every beginner starts with learning the Surya Namaskar sequences. Once certain level of proficiency has been reached and the student develops certain level of strength, flexibility and stamina, the standing poses are taught one at a time. In the same manner, once the teacher decides it is time, the Primary Series and the finishing sequence are taught one pose at at time. And then the Intermediate Series and then the Advanced ones (A, B, C and D) Each one of this series may take up to 3 or 4 years to learn depending on the student.
**New students to the Ashtanga Yoga Method are asked to commit to at least one month. Only Students with an established practice of at least half primary series should consider drop in classes. Please contact me directly if you have any doubts about drop in classes.
Bring a Yoga Mat and Towel
Always be on time and if possible just after having showered.
On your first class, only practice Primary series.
Wear light clothes that allow free movement throughout your body.
Do not attempt any poses that have not been “given” to you by a qualified teacher.
It is advised for female practitioners to rest and abstain from practice on the first 1-3 days of their menstrual cycle. Please ask me if you have any doubts about this.
