Meditation
The foundation of practice is sitting meditation: focusing attention on the present moment. This focus brings to light the mind’s constant stream of conditioned thought, which can then be disengaged from. Soon we are able to be with what is “between” or “behind” the thoughts – inner peace, calm, spaciousness and creativity. This experience of inner peace is Who You Really Are. With practice we can choose to drop that which separates us from the authentic experience of ourselves. We can make new choices. We can act differently. We find freedom from unconscious habits that limit our possibility for living whole and happy lives. We learn to be present to Life and take that presence out into our daily lives enriching relationships with our loved ones, co workers and most importantly, ourselves.

The Ashtanga Yoga System
Traditionally, the practice is learned from one teacher, in increments, over the course of time. As one posture is mastered, the next is offered. “Mysore style” refers to the way the practice was taught in the city of its origins, Mysore. In this style, students move at their own pace, and the teacher has the ability to observe and adjust students individually. Class is appropriate for absolute beginners, as well as advanced students. All are welcome.
