how we teach

Class styles

Flow Classes

Astanga Flow classes are all-levels. You’ll be talked through the Sun Salutations (warm-ups), followed by the Standing Series and some Seated Postures. Our teachers take creative liberties with adapting the practice to the group, often including some backbends from Second Series. The Finishing Series is usually presented with modifications.

Mysore Style

Mysore classes take their name from how this practice was taught at the Astanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India. Students start with the fundamentals at their own pace, while the teacher helps them memorize new sequences and develop helpful movement patterns. You don’t have to be flexible or know what you’re doing – just come as you are!
