Sept 20 - Oct 9, 2009 - Ongoing Mysore Classes,
In the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India

This is the manner in which Ashtanga Yoga is taught in Mysore, India by Sri R. Sharath of the Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute. Students learn the traditional sequence of asanas (postures) on an individual basis, one by one, yet in a group setting. The practice/class remains silent with soft spoken one on one individual instruction. The asanas are taught in a progressive system, where each builds strength and stamina, developing the student for the next asana. This is a very powerful and safe way of learning Ashtanga Yoga. The students then memorize the sequence, which becomes their personal practice.

Please vist the website of Ashtanga Yoga for more details: www.KPJAYI.org
