🧘Why does this class look different?
This is Ashtanga Yoga and an example of the Mysore style of this practice, named after the beautiful city of Mysore in southern India 🇮🇳
Yoga Space’s Mysore program has been running since 2005, when Dr Jean Byrne and Dr Rob Schutze received teaching authorisation in this lineage. The Mysore mornings are currently taught by Authorised teacher Elena Pinto, GP-Yoga Teacher Tricia and Respiratory Scientist- Yoga teacher Eva.
So what is Ashtanga Yoga?
Ashtanga Yoga offers a dynamic and structured practice that follows a set series of postures, synchronised with the breath 🌬️
Sadly, the Instagram version of Ashtanga often focuses on extreme postures and extreme adjustments. Maybe that’s fun for some, but it is not the heart of this practice. Also there’s been too many abuses of power in ASHTANGA to teach this way 😳.
Ashtanga gives you the opportunity to develop a daily practice and cultivate self-discipline (tapas 🔥). For our teachers and students, it becomes an anchor throughout all stages of life.
No matter what stage you’re at, everyone is welcome, this practice can be customised to suit your individual needs 🤍
