About this selection
Mysore is the birthplace of Ashtanga yoga — where Pattabhi Jois taught, where KPJAYI authorises teachers, and where every serious Ashtanga practitioner makes pilgrimage. Twenty-one days in Mysore is a serious undertaking — and a seriously transformative one. The classical Panchakarma recommendation, the threshold at which neural pathways genuinely begin to rewire, and the length at which long-term practitioners describe fundamental change in their relationship to practice. January is one of Mysore's best months for retreat — Karnataka's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in January tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
