Mysore Ashtanga Practice Group: Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him to fish and he can eat for the rest of his life – Chinese proverb ……. Mysore Ashtanga intends to do this. This practice is designed to help the yogini have the tools so that she may develop her own practice. Mysore style is for the beginner or advanced, the young or the old. This style practice accommodates everyone. It is an intimate, personal and developed way of practicing yoga as well as a traditional, time-honored and historic method. The ‘Mysore Style’ method is named after the city where our teacher, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, lived and taught and where his grandson, Sharath, continues this teaching style from his teacher Krishnamacharya. In this special class, you learn to take individual responsibility for your yoga practice and develop a deeply trusting relationship with your teacher. It is perhaps the only way that the more advanced asanas or postures can be learned safely, with proper skill and dedication. By committing yourself fully to one yoga style, one teaching method and a regular practice, you open the door to deeper levels of your body, mind and spirit.  This class is not your usual yoga class in the sense that there is no one teacher that is leading the group.  There are practiced isntructors there to assist you and help you to learn the practice, each in his or her own time and ability.
