All students are welcome, including beginners. This class is most suitable to those students who have completed a beginner's Course as a transition to a Level 1 class and to those who have some yoga experience.

Ashtanga Yoga
Mysore style
This is a self-practice of the ashtanga series. No formal instructions are given, instead the teacher adjusts you in the asanas to correct your posture and to help you to move deeper into the poses.
The teacher is an experienced practitioner and his adjustments are excellent.
