Breathe and Move Together
Come practice Ashtanga Yoga in the desert.
What is Ashtanga Yoga?
When practicing Ashtanga Yoga in the Mysore Style you will learn a set sequence of postures at your own pace, with individual guidance from a teacher in a quiet, group setting. Unlike led classes, Mysore Style allows students to move through the practice independently, receiving hands-on assistance and personalized instruction based on their level. If you don’t know the sequence, don’t worry we’ll teach you!
Led Ashtanga classes are guided by a teacher and follow the traditional Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series sequence of poses. Students move through the series as a group in unison. Led Half Primary series classes are a great way to learn the series with modifications and alternatives offered.
Intro to Ashtanga Yoga is a class for all levels. The class is taught in a semi-guided manner based on the students’ levels. Students brand new to Ashtanga Yoga to students practicing Intermediate and Advanced series are welcome. Modifications and alternatives are always taught according to individual student’s needs.
