Things to do in Mysuru (Mysore), Karnataka: The Best Yoga & Pilates

June 9, 2021 Margarita Chappel

The kings of the Wodeyar dynasty set the bar high for the southern cultural capital of Mysore. Ornate palaces and the Gothic St. Philomena's Church with its 175-foot spires pack a visual punch; local institutions keep Carnatic classical music and dance in the public eye. A prominent 11th-century temple sits atop 1,000 steps on the city's outskirts. Dress to the nines and party like a rock star in celebration of Mysore heritage during the lively Dussehra festival, held for 10 days in October/November.

This was an amazing experience! I took classes there 1-30JUNE 2019. For me this was the best decision ever. I wanted to learn proper Ashtanga Yoga for my own practise. As it was a huge 'investment' to go all the way to India from China, I wanted to be sure that the center/school selected could be the best option available. So I decided to do a mini-research and I contacted 36 schools related with Ashtanga Yoga based in India (1-2 months in advance). At the end, I decided to go for Badri School - Reasons: 1) Maximum 12 students at a time; 2) You have full attention from Sir Badri while he teaches you step by step/day by day the different Asanas; 3) Cost was affordable for one month; 4) His expertise 40+years of experience; 5) Mostly are local students (10 of 12 were locals); 6) You learn traditional Mysuru Ashtanga yoga asanas and breathing. And I am so glad that I booked with him! For all those reasons, that are real, I will totally recommend this school for learning about this pracitse. Thanks again Sir Badri for all your time, patience and knowledge. You will be proud to know that I am still practising and even sharing with others, so I can keep on my motivation. Hopefully, I will come back to keep learning and improving. Best wishes! Nadia

Linga Ashtanga Yoga

Reviewed By Darrigopatrick

Highly recommend Jai! I came to practice with Jai because my US Ashtanga teacher completed her teacher training with him five years ago. She frequently speaks of the ways his techniques, presence, and teachings supported her own growth in the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga and life. When the opportunity came for me to go to India with my teacher, to learn from her teacher, I jumped at the chance! I was NOT disappointed. Jai’s devotion to yoga is obvious. He takes his work and position very seriously and has a clear, honest, and supportive approach to teaching. What I found the most valuable is his deep understanding of each asana and his ability to see each student’s unique needs, provide guidance, and support growth. With all the yoga shalas and gurus to study with in Mysuru Jai offers a humble and dedicated presence and he will NOT disappoint! I highly recommend Jai and Linga Ashtanga to anyone, beginner or advanced! Namaste

Yoga Gita

When practiced in the right direction, Yoga transcends the limited individual entity into the whole, uniting the individual life to life itself. Until that happens, people will be experiencing a glimpse of it, staying in the illusion of what is life, building concepts about themselves. For thousand of years, Sages have transmitted that wisdom through sacred texts such as the Upanishads, the Baghavad Gita, and the Patanjali Yoga Sutras which have to be read from a pure and neutral angle to be understood in a proper way. Vijay Gopala has established the link from that wisdom to the common mind, and spread this knowledge to his students. Yoga GITA teaching is the thread that align “MY LIFE” to “LIFE” by dissolving the borders that separate you from life for it to be revealed in its full potential and peace of mind can be attained. When all beings will find peace, the world will become a place of love. Yoga is the path of life. Realize you are it by joining us in this marvelous journey.

Yoga Gita is a truly unique Yoga school and I can say it from my personal experience which has not been less than "LIFE TRANSFORMATIVE". Vijay Gopala, the founder of the school is one of the few Yogis I can say who have experienced the true depth of Yoga and are committed to revive and spread ino this world this ancient knowledge. It was here in Yoga Gita that I learnt that Yoga is much more than just making body movements. Yoga is a holistic subject, when practiced in its'true form, it has the potential of flowering each and every aspect of an individual's life. I have personally benefitted from Vijays teachings by gaining physical health and fitness, being more calm and anxiety free, gaining more awareness and becoming a happier person in life :) . If you wish to visit this serene place; it is possible to visit for a day or even possible to stay in for a few days or for a deeper learning even for a year or more! Drop in and experience for yourself!!!
