The "Mysore" method is a traditional and highly personalized way of learning yoga. Because it looks different from a standard group class, new students often have a few questions. Here are a few answers before your first visit.

Not at all. In fact, Mysore style is a great way for a beginner to start! We will teach you the practice one posture at a time. On your first day, we’ll focus on the foundations of breath and the first few movements. You’ll leave with a small, manageable practice that you "own," and we will slowly add more as your strength and memory progress.

Actually, Mysore style is a very beginner-friendly format because it is personalized to your ability and needs. In a standard class, you might feel rushed or pressured to keep up with the group. Here, there is no "keeping up." You move at your own pace, and our experienced teachers are here to offer variations and options appropriate for any body or experience level.

One of the best benefits of this style is the flexible start time. Our Mysore sessions are "open room." You can arrive anytime, as long as you finish your practice by the end of the window. For your first few sessions, your practice will likely be about 30–45 minutes long.

The room is generally quiet, filled only with the sound of collective breathing. We don't play music because we want to help you develop an internal focus. Instead of a teacher at the front of the room calling out cues over a playlist, the teachers move through the room, giving one-on-one adjustments and personalized instruction to each student.

We are right there with you! Because we (your teachers) aren’t tied to the front of the room, we are constantly observing and supporting. If you get stuck, simply look to us or wait a moment, and a teacher will be over to guide you through the next step. We also provide small "cheat sheets" for beginners to help you memorize the sequence over time.

Bring a yoga mat, a hand towel, and an open, curious mind. Because our teachers are anatomy nerds experienced trainers, please let us know of any specific injuries or practice goals you have when you arrive.

The space we operate out of does not have showers. We recommend that you shower ahead of time and use our bathroom to change and freshen up after.
