Should I Be Having a “Good Time” Practicing Yoga?
Written By Shosita Chia
During training sessions, I field a wide array of queries. “How do I breathe” (a simultaneously hilarious yet extremely profound question) is probably one of my favourites.

But today I’ll address whether we should be having fun, feeling peace, or enjoying ourselves, whenever we step on our mats.

In the age of social media and a culture of comparison, it’s easy fall into the misconception that we must at all times when practicing yoga be at peace, feel ease and contentment, and have a radiantly alive disposition and manner.

After all, we often see content expressions of lithe and agile bodies contorting their bodies like teenage gymnasts (perhaps in hipster studios renovated with sustainable furniture)… or an endless sequence of 10 second clips of people flowing effortlessly through poses.. (which showing the 10 months of practice needed to perform those 10 seconds)…

… but I digress, this is for another post ….

Back to it …

So, what if you’re not always having a “good time”

It is often said that students make the teacher — yet without a teacher’s proper guidance, no student can truly walk the path of learning.

This week, as our shala gathers to celebrate Local Teacher’s Day, our hearts turn to Sita, our beloved teacher, with deep appreciation. Her dedication, care, and passion shine through every class, and her one‑of‑a‑kind Ashtanga teaching has touched each of us far beyond the mat.

Through her tireless commitment, we have grown not only in physical practice but also in life, carrying lessons that continue to guide us each day.

Thank you, Sita, for creating a safe, warm, and welcoming space where every passionate practitioner feels at home in this unique journey of discovery. Your love and devotion inspire us through both darkness and light in the practice, and we remain endlessly grateful for all that you give.

From MBR shala's students with love! ❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗

Finding the Balance: Why Regularity is Key to Reducing Muscle Soreness

Do you find yourself feeling sore after your weekly yoga practice? You are not alone. Recently, many MBR students have asked me why they’re experiencing this…

Daily Mysore develops a stable and gradual practice.
Although led classes are not meant for daily practice, students are encouraged to attend occasional led sessions (traditionally once a week). Following the teacher's counting in led class helps refine:
• Breathing rhythms - not too slow, not too fast
• Vinyasa counting - synchronizing movement and breath
• Asana names in Sanskrit — building familiarity with traditional terminology
• Drishti focus - cultivating concentration and awareness
• Stamina - strengthening endurance through steady practice

Joining our full primary led class at Mysore Breathing Room shala every:
• Second tuesday of the month
• Last sunday of the month
The led practice start at 8.30am and followed with mini conference with teacher Sita. DM to book your class!

Every advance in life is built upon a solid and stable foundation. The same truth applies to yoga practice. Chuck Miller’s teaching reminds us that, no matter which path we follow, we must nurture the passionate beginner’s mind with mindfulness on the foundations in our daily practice.

In Mysore Ashtanga method, skipping difficult poses and moving ahead is not allowed without the teacher’s guidance. Why?

Because the sequence is crafted with intent — each asana prepares the strong foundation for the next. Stopping at an asana does not mean the journey halts or turns backward. Quite the opposite—it is where true progression unfolds. Each pause is not stagnation but deepening and strengthening. Opportunities to observe more clearly, embrace more deeply, and improve the self. Allow more time for both the mind and the body to enhance strength, flexibility and resilience. It is to recognize that growth is not always movement, but sometimes stillness. Skipping asanas and rushing forward mirrors the same patterns of avoidance in life. The Mysore method honors each practitioner’s unique timing. Patience allows the physical body and the mind to be truly ready for safe, holistic and transformative growth — not just the acquisition of a list of asanas.

200-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING - WEEKEND COURSE
Special offer for existing 200-hour certified teachers!
AT ONLY $1888

Sundays and Saturdays
12.30-6.30pm
From 29/8/2026

We are opening a limited number of places in our upcoming 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training for teachers who have already completed a recognised 200-hour programme and wish to deepen their knowledge and refine their teaching practice.

This pathway is designed for certified teachers who want to revisit the full training in a structured environment, strengthen their understanding, and continue developing both their practice and teaching skills.

Rather than joining as first-time trainees, experienced teachers will participate as part of a continuing professional development journey. You will move through the complete curriculum alongside new trainees, while contributing your own insights and experience.

The programme covers the full syllabus: asana practice, pranayama, meditation, anatomy and physiology, yoga philosophy and ethics, teaching methodology, observation, sequencing, and teaching practice.

We believe repeating a comprehensive training can be especially valuable once you have begun teaching. Concepts that may have felt abstract during your initial TTC often take on new clarity when revisited with real classroom experience.

Eligibility
This pathway is open only to teachers who have already completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training and can provide proof of certification.

If you are ready to take the next step in your development, feel free to get in touch for further details and available booking spots!
