Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ashtanga yoga suitable for beginners?

Yes! While Ashtanga is known for being physically demanding, our Mysore-style classes are perfect for beginners. You'll learn one pose at a time at your own pace, with personalized instruction from our teachers.

What should I expect in my first Ashtanga class?

In your first class, a teacher will guide you through the opening sequence and first few poses. You'll learn proper breathing technique and foundational movements. Most beginners practice for 30-45 minutes initially.

How is Ashtanga different from other yoga styles?

Ashtanga follows a set sequence of poses practiced in the same order each time. It emphasizes breath synchronization (vinyasa), internal locks (bandhas), and focused gaze points (drishti). This creates a moving meditation that builds strength, flexibility, and mental focus.
