तं दुर्दर्शं गूढमनुप्रविष्टं गुहाहितं गह्वरेष्ठं पुराणम् । 
अध्यात्मयोगाधिगमेन देवं मत्वा धीरो हर्षशोकौ जहाति ॥ १२ ॥

 The wise sage who, by means of meditation on his Self, recognises the Ancient, who is difficult to be seen, who is unfathomable and concealed, who is hidden in the cave of the heart, who dwells in the abyss, who is lodged in intelligence, indeed renounces joy and sorrow.    Katha Upanishad 1.2.12

We are OPEN until May 2020, please contact us for the availability.

Astanga yogagurukula


This is Dr Vidwan Vijaya Kumar’s traditional school of yoga.
It is set in the tranquil atmosphere of the historical village of Pandeshwara, in coastal southwest India. It is an ideal place to practise yoga in the land of its origin, offering an authentic environment for learning yoga from a teacher who is widely recognized for his skill and appeal. His method of teaching is based on the passing down of ancient Indian knowledge through generations.
Sharing all aspects of yoga Vijaya is particularly skilled, not only in the practices of yoga, but also in communicating his profound knowledge of traditional Indian philosophies.
  
The word Gurukula means a home of a teacher, a guru. When the students are living with the teacher it creates a special environment for teaching and learning. This allows both the students and the teacher to observe each other and to develop. It is the most recommended teaching style in the ancient Indian tradition. By long term observation and practice, a student is given a variety of spiritual and practical educations from the teacher, according to the student's ability.  

Yogagurukula doesn't offer teacher training, what we offer is student training.
​Only by being a student for a long time one can became a teacher one day. 
​
The daily classes (asana, philosophy and chanting) are going on daily basis when ever we are open.
​Students may come to stay with us ​whenever - Contact us for the availability.
