About Mysore Ashtanga
Ashtanga is the root practice of Vinyasa yoga. A set sequence of poses are connected with a specific breathing technique to create a dynamic, fluid, and challenging practice. Mysore Style Ashtanga is individually instructed in a group setting. The teacher works with you one-on-one, at the pace appropriate to you, and offers props and modifications to support all levels of practitioners to progress through the series. You may arrive and depart on your own schedule within the 90 minute scheduled time.

About John Berlinsky
John began practicing Ashtanga in the '90's and was quickly taken with the depth, challenge, and continuously evolving nature of it. Traditional Ashtanga is the root vinyasa practice. Its design offers an experience of balance and counterbalance, a pranayama practice in motion and, at its essence, a moving meditation. It is truly a practice of releasing Samskara: unwinding the conditioned patterns of movement, thought, emotion, and spirit that we often find ourselves bound in.
John is authorized by the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute of Mysore, India where he has made 5 extended trips over the years. He has been teaching consistently since 1995 and continues to study many forms of yoga, philosophy, and the movement and understanding of the physical body. The gift of teaching for John is supporting each person's experience of practice, and facilitating the depth, transformation, and healing power that yoga has to offer.
