Mysore Style is not a class in the usual sense.
There is no teacher standing at the front of the room calling out postures. There is no need for everyone to move at the same speed or do the same thing at the same time.
You learn a sequence gradually, one part at a time.
You practise it at your own pace, with your own breath.
I am in the room with you. I watch. I help when help is needed. I teach something new when I think the time is right. Sometimes I adjust a posture. Sometimes I change it. Sometimes I ask you to wait.
And sometimes I do nothing at all.
That too is teaching.
The room is quiet.
People arrive at different times. Beginners may be practising next to people who have been doing Ashtanga for twenty years. One person may practise for forty minutes, another for two hours.
There are no good students and bad students. No advanced corner of the room.
There are beginners and there are more experienced practitioners.
Everybody is working with the practice they have today.
You do not need to know the sequence before you come.
You do not need to be flexible.
You do not need to be strong.
You certainly do not need to be “good at yoga.”
You begin where you are.
And from there, slowly, we build a practice that becomes yours.
That is Mysore Style.
