I completed my TTC last month in Nirvana Yoga Shala and I have had a truly wonderful experience! Karthik, my Ashtanga teacher is brilliant, with so many years of experience and knowledge and I felt privileged to practice with him, my progress was so quick and always felt so safe with his adjustments and guidance. He inspires me so much and that was the reason I decided to stay longer in Mysore! Also, Nandeesh, our pranayama teacher and Susheela, the meditation teacher, held an amazing space for us to dive deeper into our spiritual practice. Special thanks to Pallavi and the rest of the staff for keeping the facilities very clean, cooking yummy and healthy food for us and accommodating all our needs so quickly.I cannot wait to be back xxx

Very rarely we find comfort at new places. There are lot of factors for a place to feel like home. Let me put in the points format as I dont want people to miss anything while reading this. 1. Yoga - Obviously, the first and foremost important thing to consider at a yoga shala is the way they teach yoga. There are many places in mysore and a lot more in other cities. There are amazing teachers everywhere. Nirvana has got the cream of them. Karthik, roughly around 28, has been a practitioner for about 20 years. He knows in and out of almost everything in yoga. Nandeesh, the hatha and pranayama trainer, has great experience of handling the classes. Stella, a south american turned Indian, has dedicated her life to yoga. You would feel like attending the classes for these people. The warmth, the motivation, the expertise they share makes you feel so welcomed. 2. Meditation - Sashi, the founder, is a man from the earth. He is a book. Nah, he is a grantha. Sometimes I feel guys like him should write the new veda. A life full of experiences and examples to learn from. I hope someday he starts preaching his life and people starts following it to create a better society. Susheela, the meditation instructor, has been practicing and sharing the knowledge for years now. Meditation is one thing that can save you from any pain. These people knows the ways to ignite that fire in you. 3. Management - One can be better at hundred things but without the right team to manage and organise, one's empire cannot sustain for long. Nirvana has the best people to handle that. I always believed that women are the right choice for a managing position. Soumya and Pallavi, one sentence - you can count on them. 4. Food - My range of veg food was so limited till I came here. I dont know what Keerthi bhayya mixes in the food but believe me, I might not be exaggerating even if I say tahat this is the best daily food, you can get in mysore. 5. Accommadation - The rooms are pretty decent. They offer various types and options like a single room, single room with attached balcony, double rooms and on sharing basis everything. Charges are also very reasonable. Infact I should say they are relatively cheaper. To summarise, I came here with a plan to stay for 10 days in october 2021. I have been here since then. I am not sure if I would like to leave this place at all. This is the place where you find the comfort of home, not just because of the food and accommadation, but because of the people. This is my family. You all are welcomed here.

I decided to do my 200 hour ashtanga ttc here and I am so happy I did. Karthik is such a wonderful instructor who is incredibly dedicated, knowledgeable and supportive. He helps you realize your potential and is gentle in his approach yet encouraging to push yourself a bit more than you previously thought you could. My strength and flexibility has improved in addition to expanding my knowledge of yoga in general. Nandeesh is our experienced and cheerful pranayama instructor. The food is delicious and varied with plenty of vegetables. the community of fellow practitioners was kind and relaxed. Pallavi and her staff were helpful. Highly recommend.

I purchased the month unlimited class deal and had a fantastic experience in each of the classes I tried. I practiced Hatha and Pranayama every morning with Nandeesh and he was a brilliant teacher. My practice benefited greatly from the month. Both Osho and Nirvana shala are beautiful spaces and the pass was a great deal. Fully recommend.

Excellent place to study and practice yoga and meditation. Very nice rooms, good atmosphere, great classes -I did not want to leave and will definitely come back :)

Deciding to do my 200 Hours Ashtangya Vinyasa TTC at Nirvana has been a life changing act for me. I came in as a beginner and I left as a person who has ticked a lot of my personal achievements that I had about my body and mind. The place is absolutely wonderful, Karthik is a fantastic instructor who will keep pushing you to achieve things that you didn't even know your body could achieve, Nandeesh is very detailed with his pranayama classes, he would patiently repeat what every pranayama was every class which was very helpful for beginners like us! Dheerendre was a fun meditation instructor. No two meditation classes were the same. Pallavi is a great front office staff, if you have any problems, she is your go to person! The rooms are new, full of natural sunlight, great views, and clean. (I stayed in Osho Glimpse), the other staff are extremely friendly, helpful and always have the biggest smiles on their faces. The food is amazing, Kirti is a fantastic cook! There are lots of things to do around apart from attending the classes, so it is wonderfully located as well! And finally, Shashi, the owner, who visited us from time to time was very down to earth and lots of fun! My initial plans were just for a month. But after such a fabulous experience I cannot help but come back to this place every year! Thank you Nirvana, you were perfect! See you very soon. ❤️

I was there one month and it was the best experience. The people who are working there are so kind and professional. The teachers are amazing and the food is very good. The rooms are so beautiful and clean. So thank you Shashi for everything. It feels like home 🙏🏻

I'm so glad to come to Nirvana Yoga Shala for 200 hours of yoga teacher training courses(Y.T.T.C). Everything was good the teachers were perfect, especially the Hatha yoga and Pranayama teacher. The teachers are very professional, welcoming, and responsible. I enjoyed all the classes and liked the school‘s atmosphere, it was a comfortable and cozy place where I felt at home. I hope to come back again soon.

I spent 4 weeks in Gokulam and mostly joined Hatha Yoga with Nandesh and Backbending/Hipopening with Karthik. Both Yoga teachers are very professional and kind and I can highly recommend the place for 🧘‍♀️, I did not take accomodation there, but next time I will. Rooms are also very spacious and beautiful, the food, I was told, is healthy and good.

I was in this school for about a month. I was learning hatha yoga teaching techniques, and pranayama and meditation methods. In my opinion, Nirvana Yoga Shala was one of the most organized and the best places that I experienced to receive the international certification of yoga instructor. Everything was peaceful and according to moral principles. The teachers were very experienced and professional. The space was clean, beautiful, full of peace and the behavior of the staff was very friendly. I am grateful to all my teachers for all their hard work. Mahsa

I just finished my 200 hour TTC in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga at Nirvana Yoga Shala and it has been an amazing in all ways possible. I came together with my wife and 1-year-old daughter. We were looking for something that would be convenient for us, clean, safe and it has been the best decision. Clean, cozy rooms, 3 meals a day of free buffet with tasty, fresh, vegetarian food and completely safe. All the staff here is very professional, from administration to teachers, cooks, everyone. Friendly atmosphere, with yogis from all over the world. We couldn't wish for more, we are sad to leave and already planning to come back. Classes of asanas, pranayama, philosophy, anatomy... Everything very accurate, straight to the point. I feel that I have learnt a lot and improved even more in flexibility and strength. I recommend completely Nirvana Yoga Shala if you are travelling on your own or with family, also if you come just to practice yoga or for the TTC. It's a great place!

My two day stay at Nirava Yoga Shala, along with my family (wife and young children) was a pleasure. Our room was clean and spacious, with a small kitchenette with basic cooking arrangements and cutlery, and an airy balcony. The staff were very polite and helpful, and supportive of our requests.

That yoga scool is absolutly perfect! For an unbeatable price you ll have here the best veg food, a very confortable room (with real hot shower!!!). But above all, the best teachers I had so far in India. Back bending course has been an amazing springboard for my practice. Pranayama courses are realy good with a lot of explanation details, Nandeesh leads you perfectly through all the diferent practices. Restorative yoga with Mani was a wonderfull discovery for me, I realy loved his way of teaching and would come back in big part for his lessons. The various meditation courses were also so deep and interesting. And cherry on top, Pallavi at the reception took very good care of all my needs from the begining until the end. Thank you so much to all the team! I hope I ll have chance to come back in February (if there is avaibilities 🙏). Namaste Sophia

Nirvana yogashala offers the best of everything mysore is known for. The teachers here have immense knowledge and humility.. they inspire you to be better.. the meditation experience offered here can make you fall in love with meditation. From teachers to staff to the cooks are the best of the best ! Undoubtedly the best place to learn yogic lifestyle in southern india

Perfect place to just focus on your learning, practice and growth, everything else taken care of by the amazing people there. Spacious well ventilated accommodation, healthy hygienic vegetarian food( and it tasted good as well) and experienced teachers and staff. I was there for a week and got to learn so much in this limited time, most importantly I got the push I needed in terms of my own yoga practice. Thanks much to the team :)

One should must visit this place. A very humble abode to find inner peace. Good food, good vibes and last but not the least kind hearted friendly people. Experienced staff who knows their job. Mine for sure was a fabulous experience as I did get the mental peace that I was looking for. I strongly encourage everyone, singles, couples and families to once in their life must take out sometime and stay in this very relaxing place and experience a wonderful yogic culture which brings utter peace to your individuality.. Just wanna say thanks to the owner of Nirvana for this fabulous experience, which I will cherish throughout my life. Cheers!!!

I completed my TTC here, it was an amazing and very peaceful experience here, everything from classes to food and rooms were great, Nandesh Sir, my hatha yoga teacher is brilliant, learnt a lot from him, his pranayama classes are so detailing, I saw a lot of progress after attending the classes. Karthik sir is amazing, his back bending classes are highly recommended, it was a privilege to practice under him, he pushes and inspires you to do more. Meditation classes were so unique for me, everyday there was a new meditation, it was so peaceful. Staying at this place has been the best decision of mine, the rooms are great with amazing view, and the staff is so helpful, Kirti is a fantastic cook, food here is delicious 😋 I stayed here for more than a month and I learnt so many things from the instructors, from day one to the last day , i see many changes and a lot of progress after learning from here .

Nirvana Yoga shala is one of the best Yoga shala in Mysore. I have learnt yoga from different teachers earlier but none had thought me this well. I have been practicing here from past 3 years and also did my Ashtanga TTC at Nirvana Yoga Shala. Shashi sir and Karthik sir are the best teachers you'll ever find. I'm proud and grateful to be their student. EVERY staff at Nirvana Yoga shala are friendly and very helpful. If you're here for Teacher's training course, they make sure the place is as comfortable as your own house followed with healthy diet and the experience is going to be AMAZING. So don't even think twice before joining Nirvana Yoga Shala.

Nirvana Yoga Shala! Let's start from the beginning, I came here completely fresh into yoga just with one goal - to become flexible and my oh my, I got a lot more than just that! Everything that has happened has changed my entire perception of LIFE. Instead of my body being flexible I'm finding out how flexible my mind can be too! New ideas, new thought Patterns, new way of living and finding peace, the universal truths and so much more. I am not only getting to work on my physical strength but I see how Shashi Sir has challenged me in my mental and emotional aspects of life, helping me let go and think of things in a way I never saw before!!! Shashi Sir , Karthik Sir, ShaskiRekha ma'am, Arnikaaaaaa❤, Pallavi, Sowmya, Yash, Manjunath, Mahesh, Nagesh, our awesome chefs who kept our belly's super happy and the whole team at Nirvana Mystic School, THANK YOU for having us, hosting us and bringing out the best in each of us! Much love!!!!!! 🌸⚡❤

It was one of my best experiences. Learning a-lot from professional teachers, Enjoyable classes with daily improvement, Quiet and beautiful place, Good manners of staff, Delicious and various foods… This enjoyable combination is what I recommend to anybody who is looking for an experience of improvement and calmness.

It’s my first time in Mysore and Nirvana Yogashala made my trip even more memorable. I have been practicing yoga for many years but didn't realize how much I needed corrections until I came to Nirvana. The shala gives individual attention and my practice has changed a great deal. I am calmer, more focused and have generally less aches and pains in my body. I have acquired a mild addiction to Kartik Sir’s back bends and hip opening class; the beautiful sequencing always ensures I float out of the studio at the end! Thank you Karthik Sir for this wonderful space. Kudos to the team 👏🏻👏🏻

Great shala with many options of different classes. As Ashtanga practitioner I’ve discovered teacher Nandesh who made me fell in love with Hatha yoga. No doubt I’ll be back again.

This Is the best place to start your yoga journey as a teacher/practitioner the teachers are just amazing and professional. It’s a must to experience meditation and learning methods here Can’t put into words how it brings miracle in your life.

I am gym lover, been doing since 7years. Wanted to learn something new and different. Then my friend introduced me into this yoga centre, that's it . Now I love yoga so much but it will take time to become expert, bcoz my body is very tight like a stone, Mr Karthik helping me out in flexibility . He is professional, kind and friendly guy. I just wanna say ..... Thank you Karthik sirrr

Amazing Yoga Shala in Gokulam. Great yoga teachers and very nice meditation sessions. Really kind and friendly staff and the best cheff. I also found really nice people staying there and a great ambience. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Great value. I highly recommend staying here.

It is a blessed place run with a great intention to bring physical, mental and emotional well-being for all. The quality of yoga far exceeds any place that I have visited in India. The rooms are comfortable. The food is great. Their is an air of peace and gratitude across the halls. Everybody is ready to help us with a smile. The Osho meditations are a cherry on the top- everyday is a new meditation - that deepens the focus as well as keeps us engaged. Highly recommended!

My wife and me had attended a few classes of Hatha yoga at Nirvana Yoga shala during our recent trip to Mysore. Even though it was our first attempt at Yoga, our teacher Mr Nandeesh introduced us to the asanas in a gradual manner. He enlightened us about the asanas and it’s benefits. Nandeesh turned out to be just the right person to introduce yoga to us. His demeanour was extremely pleasant and a turned out be very knowledgeable about the roots of yoga. The property was impressive with multiple halls for yoga and meditation. We attended the 6:30 am class and the atmosphere was calm and serene during that time. Overall, a great way to be introduced to yoga. Looking forward to our next classes in Nirvana Yoga shala during our next trip to Mysore.

This was my second visit to Mysore and i didn't even think of going anywhere else, Nirvana Yoga Shala is such comforting place which takes care of all your needs be it Yoga, pranayam, meditation, hygienic and comfortable stay or nourishing food. Didn't even realized I already stayed there for a month. On top of that people there are real gem. Kudos to the wonderful team.

I took 200HR Hatha yoga TTC course. My overall experience was really good. Pros: -Teaching methodologies, providing support , pushing your limits are few of the qualities that I have learnt. -Hatha, Pranayama, Ashtanga and meditation gurus are well qualified and experienced. -Food is really good Cons: - Anatomy and philosophy was not covered as per the syllabus - they have 2 buildings, food is available only in 1 building and classes happens in both buildings. Thus lot of to and fro between both the buildings

Highly recommended! I have been in many yoga places around India and I can say this is my favorite for far. Really nice environment, excellent quality of teachers, DELICIOUS food, super clean, nice ashtanga and hatha yoga practice. I stayed 5 weeks and I wish love stay longer. For sure I will come back. Thanks Nirvana for all. Hope see you soon!

Namaste! I finished my 200 hour TTC in Hatha Yoga at Nirvana Yoga Shala. It was great experience with my guruji dear Stella. I have completed two levels, I am so blessed, Thanks to my guruji. She is very dedicated teacher, Its amazing training. I learnt many Asanas, Pranayama, and Meditation, and I learnt many things like how to teach others. It was nice experience!! Overall Superb!!

I was in this school for about a month. I was learning hatha yoga teaching techniques, and pranayama and meditation methods. In my opinion, Nirvana Yoga Shala was one of the most organized and the best places that I experienced to receive the international certification of yoga instructor.
