In Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga classes, participants work through a fixed sequence of poses at their own pace and ability level while the teacher provides one-on-one guidance and instruction as needed. Participants may come and go as they wish during the scheduled class period and practice for as long as desired. In this format, students memorize the sequence of postures and transitions bit-by-bit over time, learning to cultivate a meditative practice focused on their own breath.

Join us for a brief midday pause Monday-Fridays in the peaceful environment of the Contemplative Commons (Studio 3C). These guided mindfulness meditations are led by the Contemplative Sciences Center and and a variety of guest instructors. Feel free to drop in from 12-12:20pm any weekday.

In this class, the instructor leads participants through the entire ashtanga primary series, pairing movement with in- and out-breath to the traditional Sanskrit-counted vinyasa. The aim is for participants to flow through the poses and breathe together in a moving group meditation.
