About Us
A Dedicated Ashtanga
Yoga Shala, Mysore, India.
Welcome to Sachidananda Ashtanga Yoga, where we practice and teach the ancient discipline of Ashtanga Yoga in its purest form with the best teachers in Mysore. With deep reverence for its roots and a commitment to authenticity, Shala strives to offer a master’s journey that integrates mind, body and spirit.
Yogacharya Shri M.V. Chidananda founded Sachidananda Ashtanga Yoga Shala in 2001. Through his teachings, he imparts traditional teachings of Ashtanga, handed down to him through generations by his legendary gurus Shri BNS Iyengar and Shri S V Venkateshaiah, from whom he began learning Ashtanga yoga at just 8 years old.
As a result of his lifelong practice, he believes in the power of disciplined Ashtanga yoga practice, taught in the traditional manner, as the best way to cultivate inner strength, flexibility, and peace of mind.
