In ashtanga yoga, the asana practice (physical postures) is done 5-6 days a week. Students take rest one day a week plus moon days. The daily repetition of asanas is important to get the full benefits of the practice. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.

Mysore-style self-practice classes:

Here, you practise the postures you’ve learnt at your own speed in a group setting – so students of all levels practise side-by-side. If you are new to ashtanga, this is a great way to learn. Complete beginners are always welcome. The teacher is there to give individual guidance and physical adjustments, helping you move through the asana series at a suitable pace. This is the traditional way that ashtanga yoga is taught at the KPJAYI in Mysore, India – which is why these classes are often called “Mysore-style”.

• Saturdays and Sundays: 8.00 – 10.00 @ triyoga Chelsea

Led classes:

The teacher guides everyone through the asana series together, at the same pace. The focus is on correct breathing and moving in and out of each posture, with the teacher counting through each vinyasa to set the rhythm.
