Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and discipline through Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga, one of the most authentic and transformative yoga practices, now offered at Shanti Prachin Yog Center. This traditional style of yoga, rooted in the teachings of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India, emphasizes self-practice under the guidance of an experienced teacher, making it suitable for practitioners of all levels.

What is Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga?

Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga is a unique approach where students practice a set sequence of postures (asanas) at their own pace, while the teacher provides individualized adjustments and guidance. Unlike led classes, Mysore-style practice fosters independence, discipline, and deeper self-awareness.

The practice follows the Ashtanga Yoga sequence, which consists of six series:

1. Primary Series (Yoga Chikitsa): Detoxifies the body and builds strength and flexibility.
2. Intermediate Series (Nadi Shodhana): Purifies the nervous system and balances energy channels.
3. Advanced Series (Sthira Bhaga): Develops intense strength, flexibility, and grace.
