Hi, i have this question about Mysore style. I took a big break from

doing Ashtanga at home, and taking led classes, and i'm returning now

and am interested in taking a Mysore class. I am not sure if i

remember the sequence. Do i just walk in and start doing my own

practice, and when i dont know what to do next, the teacher comes

over and tells me the next pose, and then the next one? I would

figure they have enough students that they can't really just keep

telling me the next pose. I am just nervous about walking in and

being stranded, is it essential to memorize the sequence first???

It depends on the Studio. Most places assume that you will not know

the Series and the teacher will help you learn it pose by pose. Some

places will not have you do the whole series as that is the

traditional method. Best bet is to go to the Studio and meet the

teacher and talk to them for a bit if you can.

jai!

This is just a question, but why don't you just memorize the

sequence anyone? It flows much better when you do.

I believe that the ideal Mysore class the teacher would be able to

explain or tell you the poses that you are not sure about and help

you to memorize it.

 

I have the perception that not all teachers promote it this way.

 

I found the beauty of a Mysore class. Is to be able to introduce any

beginner to the ashtanga practice wich some teacher will do.

 

Namaste

Thanks to all of you for answering, and Lashannsmall, thanks for that

link; i printed out the postures; you're right, memorizing them

wouldn't be so tough, considering i used to have them memorized

anyway. :-)
