Nirvana Yoga Shala, Mysore(Ashtanga/Hatha/Kundalini Yoga Teachers Training Course India)

I recently completed my first Ashtanga Teacher Training at Nirvana Yoga Shala, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Kartik was my teacher, and he is truly exceptional, highly skilled, caring, and attentive to each student’s individual needs. The Teaching Methodology classes were incredibly helpful for improving my personal practice. The anatomy and philosophy sessions with Dr. Sashi were equally enriching, offering deep insights that complemented the physical practice. I also greatly enjoyed the evening meditation sessions, which were varied. The center itself is very clean, the food is good, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming. I felt truly welcomed, and I look forward to returning!

Nirvana yoga shala has been one of my favorite yoga retreats. Guruji Shashi shared so much invaluable wisdom that will help me on this journey we call life. I stayed in Nirvana shala with Pratika poovaiah who answered any questions or needs with such warmth it’s like I was staying with my aunty. Dheerendra Nakhate was the man ! Anything you needed any hour he was there to assist. The food was delicious and always prepared on time. I took a few ashtanga classes with Karthik. I was a little hesitant since i normally take hatha but he made it approachable and has excellent hands on assists that gave you that little extra push without crossing your limits. Now i save the best for last Miss Yashika she is a gem I wanted to take her home with me! I would start my day taking her hatha classes and finish with pranayama walking out with ananda in my heart. Would definitely recommend this shala to all 💚

Recently finished my 100H, and will be back to complete the 200H. It was a great learning experience doing the Hatha stream with Nandesh. The classes were really good, the food is nutritious and clean, and the rooms were serviceable.

We went to practice a hatha yoga class with Nandy, we are a 15 yoga group comming from Spain. The class had a perfect structure, with variety of assanas, well guided. Nandy has 20 years of experience teaching. He is kind person. He take videos and photos for us while we were practicing, so we got a nice regard. We recommend him and even the place, was very clean and with nice decoration. We will come back in the future.

I completed my ashtanga training in Nirvana in 2023 and it was beyond my expectations.I stayed for 3 month at Nirvana and studied under Karthik who is an exceptional teacher! During my stay I really enjoyed the sound healing sessions and meditations led by Shashi Ji, and it helped me get deeper into meditation. This year I signed up for the online Prenatal and Postnatal yoga training with Ms Yashika, and it was so great. I learned so much and she is an excellent teacher, very easy to communicate with and with an intelligent lovely spirit. I would highly recommend any woman to do this training as it teaches you so much about being a woman and the beautiful journey of pregnancy and motherhood whether you are a mother or not <3 The rooms were clean and spacious, and the food was healthy and good. I loved the yoga halls that we practiced swell. Thank you all at Nirvana I hope to come back soon!

I have done the 200h TTC course am it was an amazing experience. Great teachers, challenging classes, so much knowledge respecting the roots of yoga. You will make friends for life in the course, have good rooms for resting from class in a calm place of Mysore. The food is delicous an internacionally friendly, not spicy. Prathika and Dhereendra are always there to help us out with gentleness and a smile.

I had a truly wonderful experience at Nirvana Yoga Shala, a yoga school dedicated to training future teachers. Although the program was online, I felt fully engaged and connected throughout the entire journey. The structure of the course was rich and well-balanced, offering deep insights into both the physical and philosophical aspects of yoga. I especially appreciated the practical classes in Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, and meditation, which were both challenging and grounding. The philosophy and anatomy lessons were equally valuable, helping me understand yoga from a broader and more integrated perspective. The pranayama classes were particularly powerful — intense yet deeply beneficial for my spiritual well-being. They brought a profound sense of clarity and inner calm that supported me throughout the training. What truly made the difference for me were the highly knowledgeable and empathetic teachers, who created a warm and supportive learning environment. Their passion and dedication were evident in every session. Even in an online format, Nirvana Yoga Shala managed to build a strong sense of community and presence. I felt seen, supported, and inspired every step of the way. A special thank you goes to the Hatha Yoga teacher and school coordinator, who kept in regular contact with me both online and by phone. Their availability, kindness, and guidance helped me feel truly welcomed and cared for throughout the course. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone looking for a deep, authentic, and transformative yoga teacher training experience. – Patrizia

Recently completed my YTTC 200hours from Nirvana. The accommodation is the highlight of this place, private rooms, beautifully planned meals. Coming to the program, the teachers were all very knowledgeable and had a lot of wisdom to share. The daily practice with different teachers really instilled in us different ways to teach and help others while teaching. Will 100% recommend this place for yoga training, or even a simple yoga vacation. It's absolutely worth it.
