Rooted in Mysore’s Yoga Tradition and the Teachings of Sri Krishnamacharya

Our program is uniquely grounded in the living tradition of Mysore—not through the lens of a single teacher, but through deep engagement with a community of scholars, elders, and lifelong practitioners.

Through direct study with respected Sanskrit scholars, you’ll gain access to the Nāthamuni Sampradāya and the Viśiṣṭādvaita philosophy that shaped the teachings of Sri Krishnamacharya. These are not just concepts from books—they are living streams of wisdom passed through generations in South India.

You’ll explore all six classical darśanas, with a focus on the Bhagavad Gītā, Patañjali Yoga Sūtras, and Sāṅkhya Kārikā, brought to life by the voices of Mysore’s renowned Sanskrit community. These teachings are not theoretical—they become part of your inner foundation as both a practitioner and a guide.

This approach sets our training apart. More importantly, it equips you with the clarity and confidence to speak authentically about the tradition you represent, the lineage you’ve studied, and the deeper meaning of yoga in the modern world.

Yoga evolves through many seasons. In times of transition, it helps to return to the source—not through personalities, but through lineage, philosophy, and lived tradition. This training offers a direct connection to those roots—quiet, enduring, and deeply relevant for sincere practitioners today.
