We have a few ways for you to begin.

Sign up for a New to Mysore Membership

This is the perfect way to begin your ashtanga yoga journey. This membership includes 4 weeks of unlimited classes and a 30-minute private consultation to address your individual needs and concerns. We will schedule your private immediately after you purchase your membership. My hours are flexible. I will hold your hand and give you extra attention in the mysore classes to help you memorize and familiarize yourself with the sequence. You will not be alone on this adventure! I will help you establish a safe and effective foundation and I will also hold you accountable so you can move forward. I will make myself available for questions and concerns throughout the month. I can’t wait to meet you and teach this transformative practice!

Private Lessons

Privates are a great way to begin as you have the teacher’s fullest attention and you can learn the ropes at your own pace. Many of our longest students started on privates and then seamlessly moved into Mysore-style classes. Email us to schedule your privates: balanceyogaatlanta@gmail.com

4-Week Beginner Series

In this series, you’ll learn the basics of the ashtanga method. You’re not required to have any previous experience. Simply come as you are and we will teach you how to focus your mind and lighten up your body. If you want to enhance your life in every way- sign up for our next series. Classes are approximately 45 minutes.

Next series: See above.

​OR Simply show up for a class that works for your schedule and we will meet you where you are.
**Keep in mind, ashtanga is the perfect yoga for beginners because the sequence is progressive and we teach you EXACTLY where you are are. We find the perfect challenge for you: not too much, not too little. There is no requirement for strength, flexibility, or mental focus; only a desire to learn and grow is needed. Expect to be treated respectfully, warmly, and taught in digestible chunks. Beginners will be taught how to breath properly, sun salutations, some standing poses, and a short closing. Once that short sequence is memorized, we will teach you more. It is such a fun process! Join us. We love beginners!

***If you’re new to our shala but not to ashtanga, sign up for our new student special: 3 classes for 14 days. (This special cannot be used for the Beginner Series classes. We would love to have you!***

Helpful Tips for Beginners

Be prepared to work hard, sweat, learn and grow.
Be committed to your practice–the more you do it, the more quickly you feel it and the greater the benefit. Like any discipline, if you don’t do it very often, don’t expect results. The suggested minimum amount is three times per week. If you simply can not get here that often, just do your best!
Bring a mat and a towel. They are available to rent at the studio as well.

Dress comfortably.

Don’t wear perfume or jewelry.
Do not eat for at least two hours before classes.
Be aware that class cards have an expiration policy. Also, be aware that there are NO REFUNDS issued after 14 days before a scheduled workshop. Full refunds will be issued up to this point. Thank you.
