We started the Mysore program five years ago under the guidance of Kim Manfredi - then owner of Charm City Yoga. We were so nervous and excited to bring this special style of practice to Baltimore. Since then, Kim has moved to Palm Springs (we miss you Kim!) and Debbie and Heather have been so excited to work with budding ashtangis to build the program into the special community it is today. We couldn't have done it without Kim’s support; but we especially couldn’t have made it this far without YOU!

Time to celebrate 🎉



This month marks the 5 year anniversary of the Charm City Ashtanga Mysore program at our Midtown studio. The program has a special approach that allows each student to find the best ways to make progress in their yoga practice. Each teacher understands that not all students are alike and work with each student in a way that is appropriate for them as an individual.

If you are looking for a way to deepen your practice, give a Mysore-style practice a try! From the teachers to the students, the community is friendly and always looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces each morning in a loving space! You will develop a personal relationship with the teachers, other students, and best of all, yourself.

This is a critical yet necessary reflection on the modern Ashtanga system. We are especially interested in Gregor’s insistence that the poses fit the students rather than the other way around. This is not to 💩 in the authorization process (lots of great teachers are authorized). But there are great teachers who aren’t - who know how to teach the system in such a way that they see the person in front of them and have the chops to bring benefits to students’ lives

Ashtanga’s Flawed Teacher Accreditation Process - Chintamani Yoga Since Matthew Remski’s article and his interview with Karen Rain the Ashtanga world is trying to come to terms with K Pattabhi Jois’ history of sexual abuse and assault. I think this is an important process, which need not be hurried and in which context a lot of questions should and need to get...

SEVEN REASONS TO START A MYSORE PRACTICE IN 2018 - Day 2.

A Mysore-style Ashtanga practice cultivates commitment, consistency, and discipline.

__________

Building and maintaining a consistent and daily yoga practice can be challenging. A Mysore-style Ashtanga practice can give you a framework to make it to your mat more regularly. By practicing the same postures every day at the same time with a teacher, you will see progress in your yoga practice. And when you first start a Mysore-style practice, committing to just 3 mornings a week can be the perfect first step for you to introduce the consistency of practice to your daily life.

This Sunday, join for our Intro to Mysore-style workshop this 12 noon. You will meet the teachers and Heather will give you a deconstructed look at how easy it is to get started on a practice of your own over 3 consecutive mornings!

Sign-up via the link in our bio. We cannot wait to see you on Sunday!
