Do you feel called to develop your own Mysore-style Ashtanga yoga practice?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here is a description from teacher David Garrigues:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ashtanga yoga is learned in what’s called a “Mysore Style” class where you develop an individualized practice with the support and guidance of a teacher who, if certified, has spent decades steeped in the tradition and engaged in serious practice. This was the teaching method in (Mysuru) Mysore, South India, hence the source of the name “Mysore Style”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In a Mysore style class you memorize the Ashtanga sequences by learning one posture at a time in a manner similar to learning a traditional chanting or music practice in India. As you repeat and master the postures within the given sequences, you gradually increase your knowledge and create an independent, mature personal practice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Developing your own Mysore-style practice allows you to find your own rhythm and pace of practice.

ASHTANGA APPRENTICESHIP - we begin again.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
My Guides are calling. They are saying “RISE UP! - share your heart love, speak your truth, spread the knowledge.​​​​​​​​
Serve, guide and share this practice in ways that dismantle ableist approaches and CO-CREATE brave spaces. ​​​​​​​​
Disrupt power dynamics. It is time for a change. Shed the notion that ‘advanced’ postures mean advanced practitioner. ​​​​​​​​
That use of props, chairs, walls are somehow a barrier in connecting to the Divine-to our true nature. If we use blocks we are somehow undeserving…or we are the exception, the other, - the thought that ‘blocks create BLOCKS’ or other such nonsense.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Have you been questioning too? ​​​​​​​​
Perhaps you are part of the change. If this speaks to your heart—I invite you to STEP IN. We are being called to create change. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I am honored to share this with you-it has been created with guidance, passion, vision, heart and a full on LOVE AFFAIR with this method, and how it can be accessible and brave. ​​​​​​​​
How the collective can benefit from your efforts. How we shed from our limiting beliefs, but never bypass—to step in, lean in and do the work. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I bow my head in gratitude for the Ancestors and Teachers who came before, to make this program possible. ​​​​​​​​
Especially those from South Asia from which this lineage comes. Without their efforts, devotion, labor, this would not be. ​​​​​​​​
