We will break down Sun Salutations and the first postures of the standing sequence, giving tips for memorization. This will give you enough to get started with Mysore style classes.
What is Mysore Style Asthanga?
Mysore classes are individualized practice sessions where the student practices the sequence from memory, while getting individual instructions and hands-on adjustments from the teacher. The student memorizes the sequence, starting with sun salutations. Over time poses are added according to the student’s ability, pace and body. Each student works closely with the teacher to develop their practice. How far or how quickly you progress is determined by your body and your frequency of practice. How long a session lasts depends on your practice and the pace of your breath.
What are the benefits of Mysore Classes?
– you learn to practice with your own breathing pattern
– yoga becomes a moving mediation: you develop an deep awareness by bringing the sense inward
– you develop your own practice that you can use anywhere anytime – at home, while traveling or in class
– you bring the mind and senses inward
– you develop a union between your mind and body on the vehicle of your breath
