In a mysore class folks practice the Ashtanga sequence at their own pace with individualized, one on one instruction and support from the teacher while also receiving the benefit of the shared energy of a group. Because of the individualized nature of the teachings, this is appropriate for beginners as well as regular practitioners.This empowering style of practice fosters independence and allows space for deeper exploration and insight into the self and your practice. This is not a group class led by a teacher all together but more like a private class with the energy of others. The 2hr time frame of class allows for folks to come in anytime within the time frame allowing time for practice and ending before end of class time. Please email me if you have any questions!  *NOTE* If you are a regular practitioner and are working beyond the Primary Series, please email Kara at thepracticeroomct@gmail.com before coming to class. Thanks!

If you are new to Yoga and interested in beginning a practice, I offer private one-on-one individualized classes. In my experience, It is challenging to meet the specific needs of a new student in the appropriate way during a guided group class and because of this I have chose to focus on private sessions for beginners. It is an invaluable way to learn as classes are tailored to the individual allowing the space to learn and explore the foundations of the practice in a way that is appropriate for you. These classes are not limited to the practice of postures but can also include or be focused on meditation, breathing and relaxation practices, etc. Private classes are also offered for those looking for individualized support in their existing practice as well. If you are looking to begin, please contact me for a private class or two to get you started. I offer sliding scale and options to make this accessible. Email Kara at thepracticeroomct@gmail.com to chat about this option for you.
