Mysore Style Class  – Traditional way to learn the Ashtanga Yoga method. Mysore Style is the most traditional form of Ashtanga Yoga practice. The designation is due to the fact that it was born in the city of Mysore, India, where Sri K. Pattabhi Jois lived and where he continually transmitted the teachings he obtained from his Guru T. Krishnamacharya. This type of class integrates all levels of practitioners in one class. From the beginner to the most advanced practitioner, everyone will be able to do their practice, and they will be followed up according to their needs. The teacher accompanies each student individually, indicating sequences of postures to perform (series). During this process, the teacher provides the student with detailed and personalized instruction, posture and posture. Proper breathing, bandhas activation, alignment, focal point (dristi), as well as all other elements necessary for practice (eg *: yamas and nyamas) are explained to the student.

She took her first Yoga class at the age of 18 when she still lived in Brazil and felt a deep connection to the practice within body and soul.
