Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Hello Everyone. I'm searching for someone who has either been to Mysore and studied under Guruji or is planning to go. I have a trip to India planned for the early months of '04 but have never been and am looking for some words of wisdom or advice on what to expect in Mysore. I have a well established Ashtanga practice but I'm still very much learning - I'm wondering if there actually are students at my level in Mysore or if it's only the most advanced. I've been told there are many people on this site that could speak with me about this. Hope you are all well and happy. Namaste. -Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste. > -Heather I went to Mysore in 2002 during the final days of the old shala. My experience was that there were all levels of practitioners and it just doesn't matter how advanced you are-- you will receive the same care and respect from Guruji and Sharath at any level. I have a pretty mediocre primary series practice, certainly not what I would call "advanced" and I simply did my practice to the best of my ability. That is really all they expect. Guruji and Sharath are very sweet and I have heard many times that they really like working with beginners. Have a wonderful time. Don't forget your bug spray, pack light. Take yoga clothes with you, buy daily wear clothes when you get there and pack empty bags to take things home. Get your shots and find a good bug repellent for the mosquitoes. Don't pet the monkeys. Or the dogs. Watch out for charging Brahmin Bulls. That is about all I can think of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 While in India, you could also visit Purple Valley in Goa. Not Mysore, but all levels of practice and experience, good teaching, nice beaches. More info at www.yogagoa.com (with apologies to everyone else sick to death of hearing about Purple Valley!) ashtanga yoga, "kejemijo" <k_jemijo> wrote: > ashtanga yoga, "hthrcrsn" <hthrcrsn> > wrote: > > Hello Everyone.

There is another Ashtanga message board here: http://pub42.ezboard.com/byoga84291 And there is a whole separate forum there just for discussion of Mysore: http://pub42.ezboard.com/fyoga84291frm12 Tons to read there and lots of people will be happy to answer questions.
