Real Stories, Real Results

  • A Transformational Experience

    I completed my 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training at this beautiful shala, and words can hardly express how grateful I am for this life-changing experience. From the very first day, I felt held, supported, and inspired by the serene energy of the place and the deep wisdom of the teachers. The curriculum was thoughtfully structured—balancing ancient philosophy, alignment-based asana practice, pranayama, meditation, and anatomy in a way that felt both grounded and expansive. Every session was a journey inward. The teachers taught not only with knowledge, but with humility, authenticity, and love. They embodied what they taught, which made the experience all the more impactful. The daily rhythm brought discipline without pressure, and the space allowed for deep self-exploration and growth—not only as a yoga practitioner but as a human being. The shala itself was a peaceful sanctuary—clean, light-filled, surrounded by nature, songs from many birds and filled with a sense of community that I’ll carry with me forever. The food was nourishing and the overall atmosphere conducive to healing and learning. I leave with not just a certificate, but a heart full of gratitude, new lifelong friendships, and tools to walk more consciously through life. If you’re considering a course here, I wholeheartedly recommend this place. It’s more than a training—it’s a journey of the soul.

  • “The best TTC Yoga course in India”

    This is the best YTT TTC Yoga course in India, definitely in Mysore. It is in the beautiful countryside outside of Mysore, as it is a real ashram experience.
    This kind of YTT yoga experience you cannot find in the West, and they are rare even in India …
    The teacher Didi is so real, authentic and amazing.
    The price is very affordable, not just a commercial scheme.
    111% recommend to anyone looking to take a 200hr or 300hr yoga training.
    This kind of Ashram, teacher and experience is a real gem to find. Go for it.

  • “One of the best experiences of my life”

    I completed a 200-hour TTC at Praguna Yoga Shala, and without a doubt, it was one of the best experiences of my life. I came in hoping to deepen my yoga practice, but I left with so much more than I could have imagined. This place is not just about becoming a yoga instructor or mastering yoga asanas - it’s about transforming both the body and mind.

    Didi is probably one of the best teachers one can find nowadays, and it’s noticeable that every detail in the course was designed with so much thought and love. The dedication of the karma yogis was inspiring, and their selfless service, along with the nourishing and delicious meals lovingly prepared by the aunties, created a warm and supportive environment that truly enriched the experience.

    I can’t express in words how grateful I am for my time in the ashram and can’t wait to come back for more courses. Om Nama Shivaya. 🪷✨🤍🙏🕉️

  • An authentic Yoga Ashram experience

    I don't have words to describe how good this place is. Didi Kadambari is a yoga teacher par excellence but what stands out is the authenticity of Yogic Ashram experience she and the team is providing. I participated in the 200-hour TTC in Nov/Dec 2024 with my wife and we feel we are blessed to find out about this place. The program is structured with great thoughtfulness and covers various aspects of Yoga holistically.
    The charges are set absolutely minimum and is same irrespective of nationalities. The only mission of this ashram is to spread yogic knowledge in its full authenticity at minimum charges for everyone.
    Please do give it a try if you are willing to learn yoga holistically.

  • A truly unique and heart-opening place

    Praguna Yoga Shala is simple, pure, and filled with love. I returned here for the second time for my 300-hour Yoga TTC, and once again my heart and soul opened in ways I didn’t expect. It is a space of deep introspection, harmony, and inner transformation. Kadambari – lovingly called Didi (sister) is an exceptional teacher: compassionate, dedicated, and completely devoted to her path. She is supported by a wonderful team who are always there for you, offering guidance, support, and care whenever you need it. This ashram is not about luxury; it’s about you about love, compassion, discipline, acceptance, surrender, and the values that truly matter. I can’t wait to return again.
