We are conveniently located in the beautiful and historic Lower Garden District 1115 St Mary.
We welcome beginners and out of town visitors.

Beginners are welcome to start a few different ways

• Drop into our free Intro to Mysore class. (No experience required.)
• Take our Mysore Beginner Series. (No experience required.)
• Go to our Absolute Beginner class. (No experience required.)
• Commit to Mysore practice. You would purchase the Beginner Mysore Unlimited One Month Membership through Vagaro and start at 6:15am on Monday. No experience required but you are expected to commit to practicing Monday through Friday.
• Drop into the half primary or full primary class. (Vinyasa experience required.)

If you have been attending led half primary classes and have some of primary series memorized then you are ready to join Mysore. You can also show up knowing absolutely nothing and we will teach you. Actually this is how it’s done traditionally. Each day you learn a little and then come back the next day to practice what you learned. You just keep doing that each day. We love beginners. You learn like that slowly slowly.

Mysore-style Ashtanga yoga is a traditional practice from Mysore, India. Students learn one on one from the teacher in a group environment and are encouraged to practice daily. Anyone can practice. The only requirement is a willingness to learn. Questions or if you’d like to pre-arrange your start day in the 6:15am class: nola.mysore@gmail.com.

Drop ins are ok for the led classes and for visiting students with a current Mysore practice. There are no drop ins for Mysore classes otherwise. Mysore is reserved for committed students only.

Led classes were originally created as a way for Mysore students to get reminders on correct timing of breathing and movement.

Mysore is self-paced and recommended for anyone looking to create and tend to a daily yoga practice.

Self practice is for students with a current practice. No teacher present. This is a time to practice in community and be completely absorbed inside ourselves. Door locks at 8:10am, no entry after.
