The Ashtanga yoga method is a fairly dynamic form of yoga which builds strength, stability, flexibility and focus. During self-practice classes students will move through the practice at their own pace and will have either committed the sequence of postures to memory or be working towards it. Beginners are always welcome and there is no need to have any previous yoga experience. The beauty of the Mysore room enables students of all levels to move and breath together in a practice tailored to suit their own individuality and potential.

The postures are also known as ‘Asana’ which is the third of eight limbs of the Ashtanga system. ‘Asana’ is often translated as ‘comfortable/steady seat’. Students move through a set sequence of postures using the ‘vinyasa’ method which entails moving with the breath. The breath provides the fulcrum for the yoga practice
