Astanga Mysore is a silent practice where students learn each pose of the Astanga yoga practice at their own pace with individual guidance from the teacher. Students may arrive anytime during the class period and begin their practice. The primary method of instruction is through hands-on adjustments and the commitment of showing up on a regular basis. Mysore classes are recommended for all students, both beginner and advanced. The practice of Astanga Mysore is named for Mysore, South India, the place where Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, the founder and proponent, lived and taught. Learn more about Astanga Yoga in Chicago.
No Mysore class offered on Moon Days.
By resting on moon days, one connects with the cycles and rhythms of nature. Gravitational pull on the earth and the body, composed mostly of water, is subtle yet a powerful force in going deeper in practice. Enjoy the day off, especially if you have a daily practice.
