Mysore
Located in the southwestern state of
Karnataka, this former capital of the
Kingdom of Mysore is home to the
opulent Mysore Palace and centuries-old
Devaraja Market. Mysore was also home
to Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, an
Indian yoga teacher, Ayurvedic healer,
and scholar who’s often referred to as
the father of modern yoga. Yoga
students may know it as the birthplace
of Ashtanga Yoga, where the Ashtanga
Yoga Research Institute was established
in 1948 and where Ashtanga
practitioners from all over the world
travel to practice and train.Pune
B.K.S. Iyengar was born in 1918 in
Bellur, a city that was in the grip of the
influenza pandemic at the time. An
attack left Iyengar sick throughout his
childhood, and when he was 16 years
old, his brother-in-law—Sri TirumalaiIMPORTANTPLACES FORYOGA
Krishnamacharya—
asked him to come to
Mysore to help with the
family. There, Iyengar
started to learn asana,
which steadily helped
his health improve. In
1936, Krishnamacharya
sent Iyengar to Pune to
spread the teaching of
yoga. Now, Pune is
home to the Ramamani
Iyengar Memorial Yoga
Institute—which
Iyengar opened in 1975,
and is considered the
heart and soul of
Iyengar Yoga. Iyengar
students from all over
the world come here to
practice and train with
the institute’s esteemed
teachers.MYSORE
