Krishnaamacharya and Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Here, every corner breathes devotion, structure, and discipline which makes yoga a life practice. In this royal city of India, everything is a magnet for spiritual seekers as well as yoga practitioners for years.
Yoga isn’t just a hobby or an interest, but a way of being. The teachers at India Yogashala follow the teachings of Ashtanga and Hatha yoga styles, combined with human anatomy, philosophy, and mindfulness. From the moment you start your yoga journey, everything is meant to help you breathe, live, and know yoga more than the physical postures.
The quiet rhythm of life, mixed with the deeply fostered legacy of yoga is what makes Mysore a must visit destination. From the majestic Chamundi hills giving the panoramic view of the city, to the lanes of Gokulam which are full of different yoga schools, everything here feels like the entire surrounding is coming together to help you evolve.

What Makes a Yoga Teacher Training in Mysore So Transformative?
Daily Asana Practice and Alignment Mysore is home to Ashtanga yoga style and is synonymous with the Mysore style practice method. It is a self-paced and teacher assisted approach of yoga practice that emphasizes your personal exploration within some traditional structure. Here, you move with sequence at your own pace while your guide adjusts and refines your alignments. With each practice, you become more familiar with subtle shifts and understand how your synchronized breathing influences your movements.
Pranayama and Meditation Breathing is said to be the bridge between your mind and body, and for this the peaceful mornings of Mysore is the perfect setting to explore it deeply. Regular pranayama sessions here include techniques of Nadi Shodhana, Kapalbhati, and Bhastrika for overall balance in your body. Meditation is considered as another cornerstone of Mysore yoga teacher training program. In this, you will explore the different guided forms of meditation. It helps in bringing mindfulness, silence, calmness, and mental clarity to you. As you start practicing daily, you will notice the subtle shifts in your body, including increased focus, a deep sense of calmness, and reduced reactivity.
Philosophy and Yogic Wisdom Yogic philosophy is one of the most important aspects of learning yoga. In Mysore, yogic philosophies are not confined to books but are lived with every mantra chant as well as normal greeting to each other. You will be studying about the ancient wisdom like Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Bhagavad Geeta, and Upanishads. You will also discuss the eight limbs of yoga, samskara, detachment, and karma. Teachers at India Yogashala make sure to help you introspect, self-question, and self-analysis, which will make philosophy a living experience for you.
Anatomy and Physiology Human Anatomy is an important part of learning yoga and completing your overall understanding of this. Each day in India Yogashala will connect the theory to practice, so that you can learn how your muscles and fascia respond to different poses of yoga. Human anatomy is basically integrating the scientific understanding of your body and its muscles as well as learning the subtle energy concepts like nadis, chakras, and prana. Learning anatomy and physiology is not only about your body but to understand the relationship between your breathing, consciousness, and movement.

Lifetime experience! The teachers, space and intentions are perfect. I have learned a lot and felt well trained to become a Yoga Teacher.

It felt like home. The group became family. Memorable experience!
Achintya Gupta
Praveen & Shiva are excellent yoga instructors, supported by others it makes a fantastic team. Second best way to learn something is to take a course, best way is to teach one. Here they teach you how to teach so its quite cool. Plus Rinku makes really nice food & the beach is nearby. The AC accomodations are about next door to the ashram and Grishma Desai is a superb Ayurveda expert. Worth it!
Eli Dela
The 300 hours Yoga Teacher Training here was wonderful. We had amazing alignment classes with Santosh, fun and great Ashtanga classes with Praveen, who also took care of all our needs in a friendly, professional and caring way, and the Ayurveda course with Dr. Grishma was so interesting! There was also morning meditation on the rocks, included dolphin excursion and Indian cooking class with our friendly chef... I would go back in a heartbeat to Agonda and to the school and I can only recommend it 🙂
