Mysore Breathing Room

Daily Mysore develops a stable and gradual practice.
Although led classes are not meant for daily practice, students are encouraged to attend occasional led sessions (traditionally once a week). Following the teacher's counting in led class helps refine:
• Breathing rhythms - not too slow, not too fast
• Vinyasa counting - synchronizing movement and breath
• Asana names in Sanskrit — building familiarity with traditional terminology
• Drishti focus - cultivating concentration and awareness
• Stamina - strengthening endurance through steady practice

Joining our full primary led class at Mysore Breathing Room shala every:
• Second tuesday of the month
• Last sunday of the month
The led practice start at 8.30am and followed with mini conference with teacher Sita. DM to book your class!

Every advance in life is built upon a solid and stable foundation. The same truth applies to yoga practice. Chuck Miller’s teaching reminds us that, no matter which path we follow, we must nurture the passionate beginner’s mind with mindfulness on the foundations in our daily practice.

To deepen your journey through the basics — simple yet profoundly transformative — join us for the upcoming workshop with Chuck and Syrena Miller

In Mysore Ashtanga method, skipping difficult poses and moving ahead is not allowed without the teacher’s guidance. Why?

Because the sequence is crafted with intent — each asana prepares the strong foundation for the next. Stopping at an asana does not mean the journey halts or turns backward. Quite the opposite—it is where true progression unfolds. Each pause is not stagnation but deepening and strengthening. Opportunities to observe more clearly, embrace more deeply, and improve the self. Allow more time for both the mind and the body to enhance strength, flexibility and resilience. It is to recognize that growth is not always movement, but sometimes stillness. Skipping asanas and rushing forward mirrors the same patterns of avoidance in life. The Mysore method honors each practitioner’s unique timing. Patience allows the physical body and the mind to be truly ready for safe, holistic and transformative growth — not just the acquisition of a list of asanas.

200-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING - WEEKEND COURSE
Special offer for existing 200-hour certified teachers!
AT ONLY $1888

Sundays and Saturdays
12.30-6.30pm
From 29/8/2026

We are opening a limited number of places in our upcoming 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training for teachers who have already completed a recognised 200-hour programme and wish to deepen their knowledge and refine their teaching practice.

This pathway is designed for certified teachers who want to revisit the full training in a structured environment, strengthen their understanding, and continue developing both their practice and teaching skills.

Rather than joining as first-time trainees, experienced teachers will participate as part of a continuing professional development journey. You will move through the complete curriculum alongside new trainees, while contributing your own insights and experience.

The programme covers the full syllabus: asana practice, pranayama, meditation, anatomy and physiology, yoga philosophy and ethics, teaching methodology, observation, sequencing, and teaching practice.

We believe repeating a comprehensive training can be especially valuable once you have begun teaching. Concepts that may have felt abstract during your initial TTC often take on new clarity when revisited with real classroom experience.

Eligibility
This pathway is open only to teachers who have already completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training and can provide proof of certification.

If you are ready to take the next step in your development, feel free to get in touch for further details and available booking spots!

Traditional Ashtanga is a balanced practice, including dynamic vinyasas interlaced with stilling asanas across each sequence. Each asana is held steadily for five conscious breaths. These tranquil pauses:
• ignite internal heat
• calm the nervous system throughout challenging asanas
• trigger the Bohr Effect to enhance oxygen release as well as accelerate cellular repair and recovery
• increase physical stamina and mental resilience
• force awareness into the present moment
• direct vital energy flow
• give space for mind and body unite

Only through this path can authentic wisdom and transformative experiences be shared. Today, we celebrate all the devoted students who have poured months of effort into completing their 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training. Your perseverance has brought you to this milestone, and a new chapter of teaching and living yoga begins. Congratulations on stepping into your role as carriers of tradition and inspiration.

Really for Day #3, ASHTANGA BEGINNER WORKSHOP?

See you on the mat tomorrow!

Some say Ashtanga feels boring—after all, it’s the same sequence every day. But for practitioners, that repetition is the very doorway to transformation.

The fixed series of postures, synchronized with steady breath, gradually settles body and mind into rhythm. With time, this daily discipline guides the nervous system into the parasympathetic “rest and digest” state, where the senses grow quiet and the mind shifts into alpha brainwaves. In that space, practice becomes moving meditation. As Patanjali taught in the second sutra—Yoga chitta vritti nirodha—yoga is the stilling of the mind’s fluctuations, and Ashtanga’s repetition is its living embodiment.

Science affirms the same truth: muscles open only when stretched in relaxation, not force. The Ashtanga method, with its familiar step‑by‑step flow, creates the perfect environment for that ease. What may look repetitive from the outside is, for the practitioner, the most direct path to meditation, flexibility, and inner transformation.
