Mysore-Style
Mysore is a self-paced class allowing students to receive individual instruction in a group setting and is open to all levels, from complete beginners to seasoned practitioners. In the beginning, new students receive more attention, and as they become familiar with the practice, they gain more independence, and the teacher is present to offer adjustments and assistance only when needed.
Half Primary
In this class, students will learn the basics of the Ashtanga Yoga practice. Students will be guided through half of the poses of Primary Series with additional instruction and modifications provided. This class is a great introduction to Ashtanga Yoga for students new to the practice. Half Primary is highly recommended for beginners.
Led Full Primary
Students will be guided through all 48 poses of the Primary series with instruction provided on proper breathing, gazing, and vinyasa transitions. The class is led using the traditional Sanskrit counting method. Led Full Primary is most suitable for regular Ashtanga Yoga practitioners or students with some yoga experience.
Half Intermediate
Consider this class an introduction to Intermediate Series, or for those who are already practicing second series, an opportunity to dig into the poses you're already working on in the Mysore room. In this class you'll practice the first half of Intermediate Series, stopping before Eka Pada Sirsasana (Leg Behind the Head Pose). Unlike the traditional led classes, we'll spend time looking at each pose and exploring various techniques to approach them safely and effectively, which makes this class suitable for many levels of students. Some yoga experience is suggested and the class is not recommended for students with limiting injuries.
Chanting & Chai
Offered the first Saturday of every month. Share space with the AYL community through exploring this important yogic practice while sipping homemade chai. No experience required. Bring something comfortable to sit on, and chant along or just listen. Cash or Venmo donations are encouraged and all money raised goes directly to our tuition assistance fund.
