“Mysore style” is traditionally practiced silently, with
individual instruction, and is named after Mysore, India, where
Ashtanga yoga originated and was taught by Sri K Pattabhi Jois for
many years. Anyone is welcome to come to this class. Students will
work at their own pace, according to his or her individual needs,
while Krista walks around the room providinghands on adjustments and
verbal instruction as needed. If you do not have the primary series
memorized, you will spend your first few weeks in class repeating bits
of the standing sequenceuntil it is committed to memory. Mysore style
is the absolute best way to learn and practice Yoga. It enables you to
create a dedicated, daily practice that will take you infinitely
deeper into the peace and calm a quiet mind and strong body can
provide. info &

DEDICATED SINCE DAY ONE
Krista Shirley is a dedicated student and practitioner of traditional
Ashtanga yoga. She was introduced to this practice in 2003 and
immediately embraced it as a daily part of her life because she was
magnetically drawn to the healing this practice provides. For the last
twelve years Krista has rolled her mat out each day because it is such
an intrinsic part of who she is. Ashtanga Yoga has given Krista
health and wellness, comfort, stability, peace, mindfulness and an
outlet to work on herself and help others.
Krista began making yearly, long term, visits to Mysore, India in 2006
to study with the late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Guruji, in order to fully
connect to this lineage and embrace and surrender to a teacher that
could help facilitate her growth and provide a deep source of
inspiration. Since Guruji’s passing in 2009 Krista continues to make
the yearly pilgrimage to India to study with Guruji’s grandson R.
Sharath Jois who has dedicated his life continuing the work of Guruji,
ensuring this deeply rich lineage, this parampara, lives on in the
name of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.
Krista’s dedication to her personal yoga practice and the Ashtanga
lineage shine through in her teaching. Her energy is contagious and
inspiring because she lives this yoga daily and experiences tremendous
fulfillment in helping people find and deepen their growth in this
practice. Krista continues her trips to Mysore each year to continue
her own studies because she believes it is very important all students
have a teacher, a guide, to aid and inspire along the path. Krista's
little boy Kaiden now tags along with her each year as she makes her
treks to Mysore.
