Mysore Style Yoga gets its name from the city in Southern India that is home to the Ashtanga Yoga tradition. A Mysore class is the traditional way to learn Ashtanga. Each student learns and memorises each pose one-by-one, as instructed by the teachers, and in doing so takes full responsibility for their own practice. Students progress at different pace; this is ideal for everyone from brand new beginners to dedicated students.

Students can arrive at any time during the session, as long as they allow enough time to finish their practice and take rest. This method of learning allows for a healthy adaptation according to the students needs. The practice room is silent except for the sound of the breath; this allows students to fully immerse themselves in what is essentially a meditative breathing practice.
