Yoga Immersion Retreat

At AyurYoga Eco-Ashram, Mysore-Kerala, South India



This tw0 week Yoga Immersion Retreat builds the practical and theoretical foundation to master the yoga in a systematic way. Besides two daily yoga sessions with demonstrations and detailed instructions, the meditation and theory classes are incredibly valuable – for all levels of students. Without this philosophical and spiritual background to your practice, yoga can be reduced to just any other fitness exercise.

Please note this retreat will be running in parallel with ongoing teacher training retreat. You will be sharing Meditation and one theory class  (Philosophy or Ayurveda) with Teacher Training Students.  The morning Yoga class is divided for Beginners and Intermediate/Advanced students in two separate class rooms.

About Mysore

If you have never heard about Mysore, it is known as the capital of yoga in South India and a perfect gateway to explore South Indian culture steeped in thousands of years of past Hindu Heritage. It is located in the middle of all cultural and spiritual places in four South Indian states of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.  

What made us to change to Mysore, instead of Himalayas, is it’s good weather throughout the year and it meets a lot of our practical needs like transport, comfortable rooms and proper food etc. The cultural feasts of this place can balance the 9 hour a day intensive training you will be going through a month long very special time of your life.
