“Mysore-style” practice is an
environment geared towards all levels of practice. This is not a
led class as each individual is given specific help based on
need. This class includes one on one instruction with a small
number of practitioners participating at various ranges of
ability. Participants practice the sequence from memory at their
own pace. The teacher assists by giving physical
adjustments with little of no verbal
instruction. This is the way yoga is taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, South India which is why it has become known as "Mysore Style" teaching – it is like receiving a private class in a group setting with all levels practicing at their own pace, but at the same time. The most important aspect of Mysore-style practice is not the ability to do the postures - it's making the commitment to attend classes regularly and establish a dedicated practice. The benefits of yoga come quickly when you develop a steadfast, dedicated practice, even if you struggle with the asanas. A Mysore practice is developed slowly over days, weeks and years so that the student is able to memorize the sequencing and the body is gradually able to adapt to the postures.
