Learn Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga in Mysore

What you can realistically reach: A 200-hour teacher training (3–4 weeks, residential) genuinely qualifies you to register as a teacher and lead a basic class — it is a foundation, not mastery. A one-week retreat deepens your own practice but will not certify you to teach.

The room

• Group — Cohorts of roughly 15–30, with several teachers across asana, philosophy and pranayama.
• A normal day — Pre-dawn practice, philosophy and anatomy through the day, a second practice at dusk — usually six days a week.
• Who comes — Mostly dedicated practitioners, often solo, a wide age range; many planning to teach.

Want the rest — a normal day, first hour to last? Ask the school; a serious one answers in two minutes.

The credential

RYT-200 / RYT-500 (Registered Yoga Teacher) · Certifying body: Yoga Alliance

A recognised qualification an outside body stands behind is not the same as a certificate a school prints itself. We name which it is — you should ask the school the same.

What I check before I send you anywhere

I'm Arnaud. I cook for a living, and I've spent fifteen years on the water — so I know the difference between a real school and a good-looking website. I built the Atlas because I got tired of the second kind. Here is what a place has to clear before it goes on here, and what I'll tell you straight when it doesn't.

• The craft is actually alive there. A working scene, with people who do this every day — not a demo put on for visitors.
• There's a real teacher behind it. Named, still practising, and certified where the craft has certificates.
• The credential is what it claims to be. A state diploma and a certificate a school prints itself are not the same thing. I check which, and I say which.
• I tell you how sure I am. Most pages here are verified by hand. A few say "still checking" — I'd rather admit that than pretend.
• Nobody pays to be here. No commission, no selling the trip. The order on this map is the strength of the community, never the size of the wallet.
• If I wouldn't send a friend, it isn't on the map.
