How to start
Everyone, including complete beginners, is welcome to practice at Ashtanga Yoga Jersey.
Learning yoga in Mysore-style classes is both safe and accessible. Each student is taught individually within a supportive group setting, allowing you to progress at your own pace while receiving personal guidance and attention when you need it. For the best experience and steady progress, we recommend committing to Mysore classes at least three times per week.
What to expect at your first class
On your first day, you’re welcome to begin by observing the class for a short while to get a feel for how a Mysore-style practice unfolds. When you’re ready, you’ll be invited to your mat, given a brief introduction, and guided in how to breathe.
During your first class, you will typically learn Surya Namaskar A and the final three poses of the closing sequence. You’ll then be encouraged to repeat these, following your own breath while practicing under the teacher’s guidance. Repetition is an essential part of learning and an integral aspect of the practice.
We encourage students to return regularly—ideally daily, or at least three times per week. The sequence is taught gradually, with new asanas added one by one. In this way, your practice develops slowly and steadily, building strength, familiarity, and confidence.
