Prana Vashya Yoga Shala

Coming to Pranavashya has been one of the best decisions for me! Initially the plan was to do the intensive only in August but the growth that I saw within that one month itself made me extend my stay here till September and trust me, if I could I would extend now in October as well. It's not just the physical feeling of achieving something in an asana but also how I feel on a mental level. I feel PUMPED and excited and I look forward to things in general. And more than anything else, I think I've learnt to believe a little more in me. Vinay Ji is the best teacher I've ever practiced with. I don't have enough words to describe how grateful I am to have learnt from him. His techniques, adjustments and understanding are amazing! He knows what each student needs to make progress and no one in the class is left out. Regardless of where you are in your practice, you will for sure see progress. I initially thought, okay how much can I do in a month? Turns out, A LOT. Everyone needs a teacher who believes in them more than they do. During the course of two months here, I lost count of the number of times I said "I can't do that" in class and then Vinay Ji would say you can, try it and then we'd try again if it didn't happen and eventually i'd do it. I'm definitely coming back here again and would totally recommend everyone to learn from Vinay Ji 💚😊

Vinay is truly one of the best yoga teachers in today’s yoga landscape. Deeply experienced and remarkably dedicated, he was among the youngest Indian teachers to begin teaching yoga professionally. His attention to each student is exceptional — even when the group is moderately sized, he manages to focus on the individual with genuine care. The environment he has created is intimate and family-like, and I sincerely hope it remains that way. Vinay teaches with a blend of love, discipline, and a clear sense of personal evolution. His approach goes far beyond the physical practice of asanas: he guides each student through a meaningful psychological and spiritual journey. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from him and highly recommend his classes to anyone seeking authentic, transformative yoga. Thank you Master, see you soon

I have just completed the 4 week Prana Vashya Intensive Course in Mysore, and what a great experience it was! This course helped me regain devotion and dedication for my yoga practice and I am leaving feeling empowered, strong and determined to continue practicing on my own. The techniques taught by Vinay sir were incredibly useful to improve my asanas, and I also loved the Pranayama class in which I was able to make quick progress too. The insights into the Bhagavad Gita teachings were also a great addition to the course. I would recommend this course to any yoga practitioner coming to Mysore. Thank you for these incredible 4 weeks and I hope to be back soon! Hari om

I attended the backbending class for two months. Vinay Sir guided each student with great dedication according to their individual level, and I was able to make real progress. The sequence of the class is excellent, and the teacher moves around the room to give detailed instruction and technique corrections. It’s the perfect shala for anyone who wants to practice asanas seriously.

Having studied directly under Vinay-ji for the past 12 years, I can say he is one of the most knowledgeable and compassionate Yoga Masters I have encountered. He skillfully blends theory, practice, and intuitive understanding for every practitioner. Meeting students where they are is a rare gift, and Vinay-ji possesses this ability. As both a long-time practitioner and student of Yoga, I have discovered an endless well of learning with him. I am deeply grateful for his guidance, especially since I met him at a dead-end in my own practice, facing many changes and challenges. His online courses are also suitable for anyone who wishes to expand their existing practice or start anew. However, if you have the opportunity, studying and practicing under Vinay-ji in Mysuru, India, will enhance and empower your practice for life. With gratitude, Heather
