Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga - Mysore style classes
Ashtanga Vinyasa is a very popular style yoga, even artists such as Madonna and Sting are practicing this form of yoga. The first series of Ashtanga Yoga is called Yoga “Chikitsa”, which means therapy. This Yoga cleanses and detoxifies the body, improves the digestive system and *balances and purifies the internal organs. Yoga Chikitsa produces a light, strong body.

The Mysore teaching method encourages and develops a self practice this allows the advanced and beginner students to coexist in the same class. The instructor serves as a coach who analyzes the students practice and gives adjustments and guidance as they progress. The beginner is initiated with a small set of poses and the number of poses increase as the student gets more fluent and deeper into the practice.

This Mysore style of yoga was introduced by Sri K. Pattabi Jois who has been teaching yoga in Mysore, India as well as all over the world for over sixty years. Sri K. Pattabi Jois prescribes practicing Ashtanga six days a week before sunrise. One day a week is set aside for rest as well as the days of the full moon and new moon.

Winter Park Yoga offers the traditional Mysore style classes just as they are taught in India. Classes are offered six days a week and no classes on the full or new moon.

Winter Park Yoga is very happy and excited to teach Mysore ashtanga vinyasa classes.

What you need to know about attending Mysore style Yoga class.
Unlike a contemporary led Ashtanga class where everyone begins and ends at the same time, in Mysore style you won't need to worry about being a few minutes late. You can come and begin your practice anywhere between 6:00am and 7:30am. The studio will be open with an instructor available to you until 9:00am so you will have plenty of time to finish the series.

New and beginner students to the Mysore yoga class should arrange a meeting or at lease speak to the instructor to discuss the practice and decide on the best time for your arrival. This will allow the instructor extra time for any questions that you may have.

It is best to practice more than three times a week, therefore Winter Park Yoga is offering special montly rates for the Mysore class. If more that three times a week is just not possible at this time in your journey, then please take advantage of our regular class rates, the more you buy at one time, the more affordable it becomes.

There will be no Mysore Classes held on the new moon or the full moon. Please check the schedule below for the new and full moon schedule.
