At Purple Yoga Hawaii, we are dedicated to a progressive way of teaching, with a long-term view of improving our students’ physical, mental and spiritual well-being. We are mindful of each person’s needs and abilities, and promote a supportive, friendly environment for inspired learning and sound practice.
Ashtanga Yoga is distinct among other styles of yoga for its focus on individual instruction in a small group, the way it was originally taught in Mysore, India. Mysore style is the optimal way to learn Ashtanga Yoga and is suitable for beginners. Each student practices their given sequence (Primary, Intermediate or Advanced) at their own pace with personal guidance including demonstrations, hands-on adjustments and verbal cues from the teachers Cathy Louise and Glen. You don’t need any yoga experience to begin Mysore practice.
Step by step you first learn the Primary Series, a dynamic flowing sequence of asanas (postures) incorporating ujjayi (a breathing technique), bandhas (internal core “locks”), drishti (gazing point) and vinyasa (breath-synchronized movement). All of these tools combined create heat in the body, improve flexibility, develop strength, build stamina, and focus the mind.
New and returning students who are ready to learn yoga and develop a self-practice with our guidance are welcome to drop in to our new location in Kaimuki. Visitors to Honolulu are also welcome to drop in to class.
