Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute, Mysore

The one style of Yoga that rivals the popularity of Iyengar Yoga in the west is the Ashtanga or Vinyasa Yoga that involves a progressive series of postures while synchronizing one's breath.

Ashtanga Yoga has its roots in the humble town of Mysore where its founder Krishna Pattabhi Jois.

Jois established the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in 1948.

Like every other place mentioned in this list, Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute, Mysore does offer residential courses but you need to apply much in advance to simply get in!
