Try out classes with a few different teachers first.
Ashtanga yoga has completely different teaching styles and class atmospheres depending on the teacher, even if they teach the same yoga. We would be happy if you could try out classes from multiple teachers using the discounted trial tickets that you can purchase on the day of the trial and find a class that suits the stage of your yoga practice.

※ Ashtanga yoga has completely different teaching styles depending on the teacher, even if they teach the same yoga. I believe that finding a teacher you like and respect is one of the ways to be a happy student. ※ アシュタンガヨガは、同じヨガを教えていても、先生によって、指導スタイルが全く異なります。ご自身にとって、相性の良い尊敬できる先生を見つけていただくことが、生徒として幸せな道の1つだと思います。

This is a class where you will practice Ashtanga yoga following the instructor's instructions. It is performed only with Sanskrit counting (Ekam, Dove, Trini...) and English breathing instructions (Inhale & Exhale). The number of breaths and the timing of entering and exiting a pose are strictly set, and this is done to check the timing of breathing and correct if you find that you are doing it your own way.
The style classes held in Mysore, the home of Ashtanga yoga, are commonly known as Mysore classes. In the Mysore class, each student practices a set sequence at their own pace until they are able to do it. In addition, instruction is provided on a one-on-one basis, and the teacher provides new asanas based on the student's level of proficiency.
Basically, students practice every morning. Practice start times vary for each participant. Come to the studio when it's open and start practicing at your own pace.
