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. Mysore has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well. June falls outside Mysore's peak yoga season, which runs September, October, November. That said, retreats run year-round and the off-season offers genuine advantages: lower prices, smaller groups, and a quieter environment that some practitioners actively prefer. The practice itself is unchanged. Mid-range retreats in Mysore ($500–$1,500) offer private or semi-private accommodation, meals, daily practice, and often additional workshops. This is the sweet spot: meaningful investment without the amenity overhead of luxury properties.
