Inside the Mysore Room

There’s something quietly powerful about returning to a practice again and again, especially when it’s designed to meet you exactly where you are. Mysore-style Ashtanga offers that kind of space—steady, thoughtful, and deeply personal—where progress isn’t rushed, and nothing is forced. It’s a practice rooted in consistency, curiosity, and trust, and it invites you to show up just as you are and see what unfolds.

We’re excited to share that our Ashtanga Mysore program is officially underway, with morning classes now offered every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Mysore-style Ashtanga is a traditional way of practicing that’s both deeply personal and surprisingly accessible, even if you’ve never set foot in an Ashtanga class before. While it may look different from a led class, the heart of Mysore is simple: you show up, you practice, and you build something steady over time.

Mysore-style Ashtanga takes its name from Mysore, India, where this method was taught and refined by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in the mid-20th century. Rather than moving in unison, students practice the Ashtanga sequence at their own pace, memorizing postures gradually and receiving individual guidance from the teacher. This approach honors the original intention of the practice—meeting each student where they are, day by day, breath by breath.

One of the biggest misconceptions about Mysore is that you need to be experienced, flexible, or already fluent in Ashtanga to participate. You don’t. You just need curiosity, a willingness to practice, and a bit of consistency. You don’t need to know the sequence—I’ll teach you. You don’t need to keep up with anyone else—this practice isn’t about comparison. Mysore is structured, yes, but it’s also adaptable, supportive, and deeply human.

Our Mysore room is a space for real people with real lives. Some mornings will feel strong, others quiet. Some days you’ll surprise yourself; other days you’ll simply show up and breathe—and that’s enough. If you’re looking for a practice that grows with you, offers individual attention, and invites you into a meaningful rhythm, we’d love to practice with you. Come as you are. We’ll take it from there.
