The Primary series is the foundational practice of Ashtanga Yoga. It has 48 poses, with a very wide range of movements. It’s important to learn it slowly, a little at a time.
Mysore (self-practice) is the traditional way to learning and practicing ashtanga vinyasa. In a Mysore room, each student learns the sequence little by little, at their own pace, level and unique circumstances, with individual support & guidance from the teacher, in an atmosphere that promotes a meditative state.

good to know
Yoga is better practiced on an empty stomach
Leave your shoes and your phone away from your mat and wear comfortable clothes.
Arrive a few minutes before class, to give yourself enough time to land on the mat.
If you suffer from any medical condition, are injured, pregnant or just don’t feel like being touched, please tell the teacher before class begins.
Mind your personal hygiene. Come clean and fresh to class, be mindful of wearing heavy perfumes, oils, and deodorants, as strong scents travel easily during class.
If you’re using props, be sure to return them neatly to their place upon leaving. If you’re practicing on a studio’s mat, be sure to clean it well at the end of the class before hanging it back. Mat sprayers and cleaning towels are available in the shala.
