	The instructor verbally leads students as a group through the Primary series of Astanga yoga with emphasis on the correct vinyasa and dristi. This class is akin to a traditional yoga class found in the west. Mysore style is the traditional method taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. Students learn Suryanamaskara A, a salutation to the sun, in week one followed by a short finishing sequence. Week two, Suryanamaskara B is added on to A. In this way, students leave their very first class with an individually tailored practice. In week three, students begin learning the Primary Series, one asana at a time, as each student is ready. Mysore style builds a balanced system of body and mind through the equal development of strength and flexibility, self-awareness and acceptance.
