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. Hatha yoga in Mysore offers a return to fundamentals — classical postures held with intention, pranayama, and the time to understand each asana from the inside. The teachers here carry lineages that trace back generations. November 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 November tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead. 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.
