Mellow Times Yoga
Mellow times yoga is a light hearted/silly name for a seriously deep practice. It is Hatha yoga practice that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching and relaxation. Restorative classes are very mellow, making them a good complement to more active practices and an excellent antidote to stress. It is designed to be accessible to every body, through modification of posses and use of props. Through modification and props (when needed) one can still receive the benefit of the posture because the body is free from effort and straining! The body/practitioner feels safe and supported.

Ashtanga
Ashtanga is a system of Yoga popularized in modern times by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in the city of Mysore, South India. The name Ashtanga Yoga means “8 limbs” in Sanskrit. It is a reference to the 8-part method of practice in the ancient text, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. In Patanjali’s method, the practice of asana or postures is one part of a comprehensive discipline of self knowledge and care including physical and mental training.
Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic method of choreographed sequences of postures linked with breath and concentration techniques that aim to give practical experience of the 8-limbed method. Ashtanga Yoga is taught in two complementary formats, Mysore style or Led classes.
Led Primary Series
Led class reinforces the proper vinyāsa system – when to inhale and when to exhale as we enter into and out of each posture. Guruji emphasized the importance of this by telling students, “When vinyāsa is perfect, the mind is under control.” He even said, “That’s the main thing controlling the mind.” (Yoga International 1995, Sandra Anderson) For both new and experienced students, led class is an important compliment to a regular Mysore practice. It’s an opportunity to ensure that each vinyāsa is being learned and practiced correctly. Furthermore, surrendering to the teacher’s count and pacing, is an opportunity to increase both our internal and external strength, and our relationship with the traditional lineage.
Mysore Style
Mysore style is a self led practice with a qualified teacher in the room giving adjustments, The students go at their own pace with practices of varying lengths and levels, beginning, intermediate and advanced. It allows students to go deeply into their own experience of the practice while still maintaining the essential and reassuring experience of a close relationship with a teacher.
