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. Vipassana meditation in Mysore — often conducted in silence for 7–10 days — takes on additional depth in this setting. The retreat context removes the obstacles that urban life creates for sustained insight practice. 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.
