Yoga Gita Shala, Mysore

Yoga Gita Ashram just north of Mysore was my “home” for two weeks of a combined silent retreat, quiet self study, and a weekend workshop. The residents are very warm and welcoming and the YG community feels wholesome and grounding on all levels. The river is a favorite spot for daily meditation and the food is top notch - in ingredient quality and flavor! It is prepared with care. I did a cooking demonstration/observation class and enjoyed learning more about their food sourcing and cooking methods. My 1:1 with Vijay was insightful and I have practices he’s recommended to develop. Everyone accommodated me generously due to some hearing challenges. Overall I highly recommend YG for anyone looking for time in a healthy community operating in a rhythm where everyone strives to support each others growing and thriving together.

My favourite one so far from Yoga Gita that may opened a new insight toward the Patanjali Yoga Sutra + Skryptures in general and what role they are playing in ones Sadhana. Authentic teachings from our genuine teacher: Sage Vijay himself- directly linked into the day to day life and related to turn the Sutras into embodied wisdom/ your direct experience through specific traditional Yoga practices on all sheaths. Highly recommended.

I was here for a 4 day Yoga retreat program..and the experience was so fulfilling, satisfying and complete. This Ashram has the best people who are our gurus through out the journey..they guide you and show you the way..so you can discover your own journey! Also special mention about the organic food here..so delicious and pure.. Overall the experience was soul touching. I know I will come back for a longer period!!!!!

I feel deeply grateful for my 300h experience at Yoga Gita. From the very first moment, I was welcomed not just as a student, but as part of the Yoga Gita family. The teachers are exceptional! knwledgeable, grounded, and truly devoted to sharing the essence of authentic, traditional yoga as it is lived and taught in India. The volunteers and staff bring so much care, warmth, and presence that the whole experience feels held with love and respect. Every detail reflects dedication and heart. The course itself is profoundly transformative. It goes far beyond physical practice, guiding a deep process of self-discovery, personal growth, and spiritual awakening. The teachings are rooted in the wisdom of Patanjali and reflect the true spirit of yoga. on and off the mat. And the food… absolutely delicious! nourishment for both the belly and the soul. A beautiful variety of tasty Indian dishes, prepared with so much love, that became an essential part of the experience. I leave Yoga Gita with immense appreciation, a full heart, and teachings that will stay with me for life. Thank you for this unforgettable journey. 🙏
