(Welcome! Welcome to the Mysore room at Bluebird Sky Yoga. We are happy to have you here! New Students: If you are new to the Mysore room, take some time to read about the class and the Ashtanga system. You may want to even peek at some of the sequence of postures. Your first day, the teacher will introduce herself to you and find out a little more about your prior yoga (if any) or movement history. This will help her tailor your first day to your specific needs.
New Students (who have an existing practice): You are welcome to join anytime! If you are practicing a series other than Primary, please practice Primary on your first day.
Traveling Students: You are welcome to come and practice with us! Please practice Primary only your first day in the studio.
