We are pleased to invite you to Mysore, India for an in-depth immersion into the traditional methods and philosophy of Yoga with the one and only SriShubha, the daughter of the great Sri Krishnamacharya.
Experience the timeless teachings of classical yoga in the tradition of T. Krishnamacharya - focusing on breath, movement, and mindful presence, in the land of Yoga’s birth.
SriShubha learned yoga from her father starting from a very early age, and carries the knowledge of Krishnamacharya’s formative years as the modern world’s most influential Yogi.
Sri Shubha will be assisted by Tapan Raj and Joey Paz, 2 devoted students who follow the tradition of Krishnamacharya’s other eras: Tapan presenting the Vinyasa Krama era of the Chennai years, and Joey presenting the Ashtanga Vinyasa era of his Mysore years.
Together, SriShubha, Tapan and Joey will offer a complete picture of the life and teachings of Krishnamacharya from their unique perspectives.
This is an opportunity to dive deep into the traditional systems of yoga as they were developed from the very beginning of Krishnamacharya’s illustrious life and career as “The Father of Modern Yoga.”
