Mysore + Masterclass
The ever-changing practice
Every practitioner has experienced it.
Nothing changed...
except everything.
One day your practice feels light, focused, and almost effortless. The next day the same postures feel heavy, frustrating, or unfamiliar.
This masterclass examines how fear, expectations, comparison, confidence, stress, and trust shape the way we move, breathe, and interpret our experience of practice.
Rather than trying to eliminate difficult days, we will learn to understand them with greater curiosity and less judgment.
One complete morning
Practice first.
Then explore what practice reveals.
Registration includes both the Mysore session and the interactive masterclass. The two parts are designed to be experienced together.
02
The Mind of the Practitioner
Explore the mental and emotional patterns that can make the same practice feel completely different from one day to the next through discussion, reflection, journaling, and questions.
Join the complete morning for $85, or choose either portion separately: Mysore practice from 8:00–10:00 AM for $25, or the masterclass from 10:30 AM–12:30 PM for $60.
What we'll explore
The mind is part of every posture.
We will examine the habits of mind that affect the way we breathe, move, respond to challenge, and understand our own practice.
Why practice changes from day to day
Why progress is rarely linear
Fear of falling, pain, injury, and progression
Learning to distinguish intuition from fear
Comparison, attachment, and expectation
How stress and fear affect the breath
Trusting the process without chasing perfection
Practicing with curiosity instead of judgment
Who should attend
For practitioners who want to understand the person behind the practice.
This course is appropriate for newer and experienced Mysore students, especially anyone navigating fear, frustration, comparison, injury, self-doubt, changing capacity, or a practice that feels inconsistent.
