The Ashtanga Yoga Class at Sukko Cultural Spa& Wellness Resort

Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, known by his students as Guru Jee (the beloved teacher) is the founder of the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in the city of Mysore , South India . He, who is now in his nineties, has been teaching Ashtanga yoga for over 70 years at his institute. There, the yoga is taught in a one-on-one basis. Students are first taught the Sun salutation poses (Surya namasakara A and B) before going on to the following asanas. The rate at which the students progress though the asanas would vary depending on their physique, strength and flexibility, and their determination.

Sri K. Pattabhi Jois is always constantly stressing that only correct yoga practice would be beneficial, thus it is important to be trained under the supervision of a knowledgeable and experienced yoga instructor.

Sukko Cultural Spa& Wellness resort is honored to offer traditional Ashtanga Yoga in the same method as taught by the Guru, Sri K. Pattabhi jois. The Mysore Class ---named after the city where Sri K. Pattabhi Jois currently teaches---is unique compared to other Yoga Asana classes. Students are taught to do the Asanas on a one-on-one basis, hence they can practice at their own paces, with guidance and assistance from a qualified teacher to assure safe, steady progress without injury to the body or mind. This peaceful environment allows students to easily tune into their breath---the vehicle by which the body and mind are observed and eventually transcended.
