Hatha Yoga, Älmhult (Mysore Style Yoga Class)

Information

What is Mysore Style Yoga?

Mysore Style is a traditional method of practising yoga, originating from Mysore, Karnataka, India, and is closely associated with Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Unlike a conventional yoga class, where everyone follows the teacher through the same sequence at the same pace, Mysore Style offers a more individual approach. Each student practises according to their own level, pace and capacity, with personal guidance and support from the teacher. It is a structured and personalised teaching method that encourages students to gradually develop an independent yoga practice while continuing to receive individual instruction.

How does a Mysore Style class work?

• Students arrive during the scheduled practice time (18:00–19:30).
• Each student follows an individual practice sequence, introduced and adapted in consultation with the teacher.
• The teacher moves around the room, offering individual guidance, alignment corrections and adjustments where appropriate.
• Students gradually learn and remember their sequences, developing confidence and independence in their practice.
• Beginners are welcome. No previous experience or knowledge of the sequence is required.

What makes Mysore Style special?

The practice incorporates several important principles of traditional yoga:

• Svadhyaya – Self-study: Developing awareness and understanding through personal practice.
• Abhyasa – Consistent practice: Building discipline and dedication through regular effort.
• Vinyasa – Breath and movement: Synchronising breath with movement to create a mindful and flowing practice.
• Tristhana – Three points of attention: Coordinating breath, posture (asana) and gaze (drishti).
• Individual development: Allowing the practice to evolve according to each student's experience, needs and physical capacity.

Who can join?

The class is suitable for beginners as well as students with previous yoga experience. Everyone is encouraged to practise at their own pace, with an emphasis on breathing, awareness, correct alignment and gradual progression. The intention is not to achieve the most advanced postures, but to develop a consistent, mindful and sustainable yoga practice.
