āshtanga yoga kutir, mandrem, india- season 2025-26, october - march


Season Begins: October 2025
Location: Mandrem, North Goa (beach side)
After a sweet and nourishing last season, I’m happy to announce that Ashtanga Yoga Kutir, Mandrem- Goa, will open again this year – with the same approach that is simple, sincere, and close to the way I love to share yoga.
This will be an another transformative season of dedicated practice, study, and inner exploration, all set in the peaceful atmosphere of Mandrem village, just a short walk from the sea.
Season Overview
The season begins October 2025, offering a rich, immersive program based in the mysore tradition of ashtanga yoga. Each morning will begin with mysore-style classes, guided in a personal, meditative way- welcoming students of all levels who are ready to commit deeply.
Seasons Schedule:
1st October 2025 – 26th October 2025 – I will be teaching.
November to 3rd December 2025– **Shala remains close, but open for registered students for self practice.
3rd December onwards to 31st March 2026 – I will be teaching.
Alongside the Mysore classes, there will be program that includes:
• Chanting classes – to build presence and devotional rhythm. This will be a mandatory practice, and students are encourage to participate. However, if someone feels to not participate due to religious beliefs and sentiments etc (which has nothing to do with religion) they can refrain from not attending those classes with prior notice to me.
• Study of classical Eastern philosophical texts/ slokas etc to deepen your understanding of yogic and spiritual wisdom. This will be a mandatory practice, study time that will ideally happen 1-2 times a week. Where we will touch upon different important eastern spiritual wisdom texts during some talks and at **special courses.
• Ayurveda & Nature cure talks on practices – to align practice with seasonal balance and well-being. Understanding the basic fundamentals of Ayurveda & Nature Cure methods, understanding of therapies, eating habits etc that we will discuss during the season during the talks and also at special courses.
**Special Ayurveda programs will also be a part of the season (dates to be announced)
It is an optional practice for practitioners who are willing to learn principles of Ayurveda as a lifestyle & healing and can avail Ayurveda therapies at the affiliated Ayurveda Centre behind the Shala road.
• Mandatory Meditation sessions – to cultivate clarity and inner stillness. Students are encouraged to sit for silent evening meditation daily at the Shala 4pm-5pm.
Occasionally, I will be there to guide meditation practices.
** Special Meditation programs will conduct at the Shala this season. I will announce and update here.
