ASHTANGA YOGA
IN TRADITIONAL MYSORE STYLE

WELCOME

…on our webpage. Our names are Beate Tomczak and Christian O. Braun. We are yoga teachers and teach Ashtanga Yoga in traditional Mysore style since 2005 (Beate since 2019) devoted and authentic in our beautiful yoga studio in Frankfurt/Nordend/Ostend. The focus is on individuality – because each path is different. In order to do justice to this, we accompany yoga practitioners individually and adapted to their possibilities in their yoga practice.

ॐ First go inside, then outside. ॐ

In addition to the physical aspect, we give a deeper insight into the further paths of Patanjali. The eight paths are: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. The goal of the courses is a dynamic meditation that can enable us to have an honest, deep and true experience of our self.

You can find a virtual video tour through our studio here.

TRADITIONAL ASHTANGA YOGA MYSORE STYLE

In traditional Aṣṭāṅga Yoga Mysore style, a yoga teacher supports the yoga student in finding his own, living yoga practice (self-practice) or in deepening his existing yoga practice individually. In addition, the student gets to him adapted assistance and is corrected in the execution of the postures (asanas). Due to the individual instructions, a Mysore lesson is basically like a private yoga session. At the same time, you benefit from the motivating and inspiring energy of all practitioners in the room.

IT ALL STARTS WITH PRACTICE

In the beginning, the asana practice is usually experienced as physically demanding. However, the practice in the Aṣṭāṅga Mysore style is always adapted to the respective possibilities of the practitioner. The yoga students are thus challenged, but not overwhelmed. The aim is to find a unique balance between rest and challenge, between breath and movement, and between attention and introspection.

FOCUS ON INDIVIDUALITY

In addition to focusing on tradition and dedication , at AYRF we understand the Mysore style primarily as an individualized yoga practice. In order to prepare for certain asanas or to respond to physique-psychic conditions, we detach ourselves from the strict tradition if necessary. Then we use e.g. variations in the sequence or execution of the exercises, which everyone can carry out guaranteed. The goal is a traditional, but an individually adapted practice.

IMPORTANCE OF THE TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP

Students who already have a permanent yoga teacher and, for example, are only visiting (drop-ins), practice their usual yoga practice at AYRF. Out of respect for the teacher-student relationship, I do not make any changes to their practice. I always discuss exceptions with the student if I consider it absolutely necessary, for example, for health reasons.

PRINCIPLE OF SOLIDARITY

Money should not stand in the way of regular participation in our courses. This also applies to the workshops we offer – we find the right contribution for everyone.
