In a Led Primary Series class, the teacher calls out the postures and vinyasas (counted movements linking the postures with the breath) of the Ashtanga Primary Series. The group moves and breathes together in sync. Led class reinforces the proper vinyasa system you learn in the Mysore class – when to inhale and when to exhale as you enter in and out of each asana. Following the teacher's pace and count in led class instills discipline and helps build both mental and physical strength of students.

Mysore Style is the traditional way of teaching Ashtanga Yoga, as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. In a Mysore class, each student moves independently, according to the timing of their own breath, through the sequence of postures as they have learned them from their teacher. The teacher moves through the room, giving assistance, instruction, and guidance as needed one-on-one basis. This method requires a commitment of time and effort. Frequent and consistent practice results in a deeper understanding and a greater connection to the work of yoga.

The Yoga Sutras contain 196 Sutras, divided between four chapters, discussing the aims and practice of yoga, the development of yogic powers and finally, liberation. Like a gentle guiding hand, the Yoga Sutras warn you of the pitfalls on your spiritual journey and offer the means to overcome them. In our weekly studies, we work with one or more Sutras and discuss what the greater meaning as well as how to apply the lesson to our own lives.
