Primary Series
Sun, 8 - 9:45 AM
Drop-ins Welcome
The Primary Series class presents the traditional Ashtanga Yoga sequence with steady pacing and clearly articulated vinyasas. This class fosters proper rhythm and improved understanding of the method. Open to all levels, it also serves as an introduction to the Ashtanga Yoga method prior to enrolling in the Mysore program.

Pranayama Breathing
Sun, 7:30 - 8:00 AM
Please arrive on time
Using the breathing and asana principles of Ashtanga Yoga, this pranayama class follows a simple, steady pattern of exhale, inhale, and various breath retentions using minimal verbal instruction to foster careful, internal observation of the breath and body posture. A regular pranayama practice can noticeably improve the overall quality of one’s asana practice.
Meditation: Within Ashtanga Yoga, the ability to maintain an upright seated posture while regulating the breath forms the foundation of seated meditation practice. If one wishes to sit for an hour of meditation, one must first develop the capacity to sit for an hour of pranayama practice.
