Ashtanga Led Class
Why Led Class is Different
Mysore is self-practice where you move at your own pace. Led Class is the opposite — everyone moves exactly together. Tung calls out "ekam inhale, dve exhale" and students breathe as one. It is like being part of a breathing orchestra where Tung is the conductor.
Your Mind Goes Quiet
In Mysore you have to remember sequences. In Led Class, Tung does all the thinking. You just listen to his voice and move. Students find their deepest meditation here.
Fix Your Terrible Timing
In Mysore, Tung sees students rushing through poses or taking forever. Led Class forces you to move at the authentic speed. Five breaths means five breaths — not three, not seven.
The Room Becomes One Breath
When students breathe together following Tung's count, something extraordinary happens. The ujjayi breathing creates an ocean sound that carries everyone. Students completely lose themselves in the group energy.
What Students Don't Expect
Many people think Led Class will be easier than Mysore because "someone else is doing the thinking." Wrong. It is harder because you cannot rest when you want to, skip poses you dislike, or rush through the challenging parts. You have to keep up with Tung's pace whether you are ready or not.
What Actually Happens in Led Class
Tung starts counting and you start moving. No stopping, no breaks, no "let me just catch my breath." When Tung says "ekam," you inhale into Urdhva Hastasana. When he says "dve," you exhale into forward fold. For 90 minutes straight.
- Tung counts every single breath and movement in Sanskrit
- Everyone moves exactly together — no one ahead, no one behind
- The same sequence Tung learned from Paramaguru Sharath Jois in Mysore
- If you cannot do a pose, you hold the previous one until the class moves on
- The group energy makes you do things you did not think you could
- By the end, you are exhausted but your mind is completely calm
What Makes Tung's Led Classes Different
Tung Does Not Modify the Vinyasa Count
Some teachers slow down or skip poses to make it "easier." Tung does not. This is the same count he learned in Mysore. If you need to rest, you rest in the pose while everyone else continues.
Sanskrit Numbers Become Your Internal Rhythm
"Ekam, dve, trini, chatvari, pancha…" After a while the numbers become like a mantra. The repetitive counting pulls students into deep meditation.
The Group Mind Effect
When everyone flows together, something happens that you cannot get practising alone. The collective breathing and movement creates an energy that carries people beyond what they thought they could do.

What is the difference between Led Class and Mysore style?
In Led Class, Tung guides everyone through the same sequence together with traditional Sanskrit counting, while in Mysore style, each student practises at their own pace. Led Class is perfect for learning the rhythm and flow of Ashtanga, memorising the sequence, and practising with group energy. It is ideal for beginners who want structure and for experienced students who enjoy synchronised practice.
Do I need to know the sequence before joining Led Class?
Not at all! Led Class is actually one of the best ways to learn the Ashtanga Primary Series. Tung counts in Sanskrit and guides you through each pose, so you can follow along even as a complete beginner. He also provides modifications and adjustments throughout the class. Many students use Led Class to memorise the sequence before transitioning to Mysore style.
How long is a Led Class and what should I expect?
Led Classes are typically 90 minutes long, covering the complete Ashtanga Primary Series from opening chant to final relaxation. Expect a dynamic, flowing practice with synchronised breathing and movement. Tung maintains the traditional pace while offering modifications for different levels. The class includes sun salutations, standing poses, seated poses, backbends, and inversions.
Is Led Class suitable for beginners to yoga?
Yes! While Ashtanga can be challenging, Tung welcomes beginners in Led Classes. He provides clear instructions, modifications for every pose, and hands-on adjustments when needed. The structured format actually helps beginners learn proper alignment and breathing. Starting with Led Class is recommended to understand Ashtanga basics before moving to self-paced Mysore practice.
What makes Tung's Led Classes authentic?
As an SYC authorized teacher who studied directly with Paramaguru Sharath Jois in Mysore, India, Tung teaches Led Class exactly as it is practised at the source. This includes traditional Sanskrit counting, proper breathing rhythm (ujjayi pranayama), correct drishti (gazing points), and the authentic sequence without modifications. Students learn the same practice that has been preserved for generations.
Can I join Led Class if I have injuries or limitations?
Absolutely! Tung has extensive experience working with students who have injuries or physical limitations. He provides modifications and alternative poses throughout the Led Class and is always available for individual guidance. The beauty of Ashtanga is that it can be adapted to any body while maintaining its therapeutic benefits. Please inform Tung of any concerns before class.
Think You Are Ready for Led Class?
Most students who have only done Mysore are shocked by Led Class. You cannot take breaks when you are tired, skip poses you dislike, or slow down when it gets hard. You have to keep up with Tung's pace whether you are ready or not. But if you can surrender to it, you will experience something extraordinary.
