THE HEART OF OUR SCHOOL

Traditional Ashtanga Mysore Practice for the Community

A Personal Practice. A Supportive Community. A Foundation for Lifelong Wellness.

At the heart of Breathe Maui Wellness is our daily traditional Ashtanga Mysore practice, Breath work practices, Strength Resilient, Resistance, Balance, Movement, Stretching and Conditioning for Sports, Athlete, Performance Growth & Development. Specializing in working with conditions, injuries and therapeutic and holistic application for recovery. Mysore is an individualized approach to learning Ashtanga Yoga. Rather than following a uniform group routine, each student develops a personal practice under the observation, instruction, and guidance of an experienced teacher.

Our school preserves the traditional Ashtanga Primary and Intermediate Series while recognizing that every individual has different abilities, health considerations, goals, and life experiences. Through attentive observation, breath-centered movement, appropriate adaptations, and progressive instruction, students develop strength, mobility, flexibility, balance, coordination, concentration, and confidence.

Our Mysore community welcomes:

Beginners exploring yoga and mindful movement
