Wat is een Ashtanga Mysore Yoga Programma?
Een Ashtanga “Mysore” Yoga programma is de traditionele manier om Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga te onderwijzen en te beoefenen. Ashtanga Mysore Yoga werd geboren in de Indiase stad Mysore. Zie de onderstaande beschrijvingen om uit te leggen wat u kunt verwachten verwachten.
All Levels Ashtanga Yoga Mysore Style
Our Ashtanga Mysore style classes are all levels where beginners practice alongside more seasoned practitioeners. Onze Ashtanga Mysore Yoga lessen zijn all-levels waar beginners oefenen naast meer ervaren beoefenaars.
In deze sfeer leer je Ashtanga Yoga onder persoonlijke begeleiding van Maxi binnen een groepsverband, in een tempo en capaciteit die voor jou relevant is. Geen twee lichamen zijn hetzelfde.
Tijdens de les zie je dagelijkse beoefenaars van 10+ jaar en beginners van 1 week ervaring naast elkaar oefenen, oud en jong, stijf en flexibel, van student tot gepensioneerd.
Eén keer per maand Led Primary Series
In deze traditionele led les begeleidt Maxi je door de Full Led Primary met de Sanskriet Vinyasa Count – dit geeft ritme, structuur en inspiratie aan je reguliere beoefening. Iedereen beweegt samen met technische aanwijzingen voor de ademhaling, overgangen en houdingen.
Geschikt voor iedereen die al ervaring heeft met Ashtanga Mysore Yoga, ook als je nog niet de hele Primary Series beoefend.
Dit is geen les voor complete beginners – je leert alle details en hoe je begint in de Ashtanga Mysore Yoga -lessen.
Hoe te beginnen?
Ben je klaar om een levenslange praktijk te leren, die heelemaal van jou is en die je heel veel mentale en fysieke voordelen biedt?
De beste optie om met ons mee te doen is met onze “One Month Mysore Yoga Trial for Newcomers To Our School“. Met deze proef-pass heb je een maand lang toegang tot alle doordeweekse ochtendlessen. Hierin ervaar en geniet je echt van de voordelen van het opzetten van een dagelijkse ochtendyogapraktijk in een ondersteunende groep onder persoonlijke en vakkundige begeleiding. De meeste nieuwkomers kiezen voor deze optie.
Je kan bij ons ook terecht met een drop-in class pass.
It’s been a little over 5 months since I started practicing with Maxi and the journey of learning from her so far has been insightful and integrated. Her embodied presence and gentle way of guiding through the asanas, unburden the general intimidation around Mysore style and make the process enriching and meaningful. I particularly admire not just her vast knowledge and understanding of Ashtanga but also how she imparts that wisdom with utmost care and attention. Without hesitation, I would recommend Bhumi Yoga to anyone who is seeking a path toward physical strength and mental peace.

What others say about practicing Ashtanga Mysore Yoga with us:
I value the feeling of mental and energetic homecoming, the perfected adjustments, the consistent schedule and the clear instructions. Read more
I really love the personal guidance and attention of the Mysore class. In my crazy busy life this shala brings me peace and quietness and gives me space to really be aware of my body and how it feels in my own pace. Maxi and her assisting teachers make a great team, love this place and glad I found it.
The personal attention and input I receive for my practice, even when practicing in bigger groups is extraordinary. Read more
Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I sign in for class?
Set up your account with our booking system HERE. You will be directed to our booking platform.
When should I arrive? When does class start?
One great aspects of practicing Ashtanga Mysore Yoga is that you arrive and leave at your own time within the class window. Best to arrive at least one hour prior to class closing time.
Thus, for:
- Mondays arrive between 6.50-8.45h
- Tuesdays and Thursdays arrive between 8.50-10.00h
- Wednesdays arrive between 6.50-8.00h
- Fridays you can either arrive a little before 7.00h to join the led part (until 7.30h), or join for Mysore only between 7.30-8.00h.
*I will guide you through practice and make sure you leave in time so you will make it to your later obligations in time.
How long is a practice?
That depends on how much time you have and what your life situation is. Our practitioners practice anytime between 30-120min.
For your first practice you will probably spend about an hour at practice – unless you have less time (then we work with less time, no problem).
Can you tell me a little more of what to expect and how it works?
Of course! Read on….
When you arrive, I take the moment to check in with you, ask you about your practice history and possible injuries and health concerns (this way I can personalise your yoga for you as appropriate).
I show you our space and explain where the practice space and everything else is.
When you arrive in our practice space you will notice that everyone is practicing in silence only enveloped by the calming sound breathing (which I teach you first thing.)
We will find a spot for you to lay down your mat (or you can take one of ours) and I sit down with you and explain how the class works and what to expect. Then I first teach you the sound and rhythmic breathing. This is the most important and fundamental aspects of the practice. Eventually from there I will guide you through the first version of sun salution, working with you and figuring out a way that works best for you. We will do a few together and eventually I will ask you to repeat it by yourself, so you can learn it inside out and be with your focus inwards (don’t worry everyone learns differently and I will be there as support may be needed). And from there practice unfolds – “same same but different” for everyone as they say in India.
Good to know:
You receive 1-on-1 guidance and assistance during your practice. (You don’t need to know anything about the practice before you come for your first class. My job to teach you.)
My guidance and assistance is mostly non-verbal by respectful hands-on adjustments. The hands-on assists are extremely valuable. Respectful efficient touch conveys information much better than words. This can instantly bring about more awareness and understanding. (And don’t worry, all our adjustments are respectful and with consent. We never wrestle you into a pose.)
I also teach you by “break things down” using verbal explanation and demo, catered especially to your needs. Yet, I don’t overwhelm you. Little by little your practice unfolds, so you can digest it.
In case of changing life circumstances, major situations presenting, injury or illness, we together modify your practice appropriately, so you can receive its benefits also during more intense/challenging times.
After your practice you can enjoy a tea at the school. You get ready for the rest of your day feeling focused, relaxed and ready for anything that may present.
How often should I join?
This depends on your life circumstances and schedule. Some of our practitioners come practice with us five days a week, others join us three times or twice a week or less. However, to get started we advice to join at least two-three times week at the shala. We can always discuss what works best for you as everyone has different circumstances.
Do I have to know anything prior to class?
No. There is nothing you need to know prior to coming to class. Just come as you are, that’s perfect. We love welcoming beginners to this beautiful practice.
Moreover, you don’t need to be flexible or strong to start.
My job is to teach you, and to adapt practice for you according to your needs.
What is the general Mysore etiquette?
– Please shower before practicing and don’t wear perfume.
What should I wear?
Please wear clean, breatheable, comfortable clothing that allows you to move.
Do I have to sign in for class?
Yes, we ask all to sign in to class and pay all class fees prior to attending. You can make an account with our booking platform here.
Meet your teacher, Maxi:
Hi, I’m Maxi (PhD, certified yoga teacher, mom, 600h Ayurveda health counselor trainee ). I know what it’s like to feel lost, imbalanced and hassling through life driven by fear. This was my life until I started to refocus.
Let’s face it, we all navigate through life bombarded by materialistic remedies that promise to cure all our ill-feelings and insecurities but leave us more empty and broke.
The clarity, focus, joy and agency I find through my dinacharya (daily rituals of yoga, Ayurveda and paying attention) are just unparalleled and have greatly helped me take to deep root within myself while cultivating more harmony in my inner and outer world.
In my teaching I am passionate about empowering people of all walks of life to find better inner perspectives for themselves. People describe me as a compassionate teacher who really connects to everyone individually. In my work I light-heartedly and skillfully combine my extensive experience and knowledge about the human body, movement, brain and behaviour.
During the Mysore Yoga practice my wish is to offer a safe space for you to be. My wish is for you to feel more connected in your inner as outer world. I will offer you practical yet simple tools and insights to help you feel balanced, anchored from within and in harmony, no matter what comes your way. I am here to support and hold space for you.
