About MysoreIf you have never heard about Mysore, it is known as the capital of yoga in South India and a perfect gateway to explore South Indian culture steeped in thousands of years of past Hindu Heritage. It is located in the middle of all cultural and spiritual places in four South Indian states of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. What made us to change to Mysore, instead of Himalayas, is it’s good weather throughout the year and it meets a lot of our practical needs like transport, comfortable rooms and proper food etc. The cultural feasts of this place can balance the 9 hour a day intensive training you will be going through a month long very special time of your life. For more information about Mysore please check our Orientation Guide or else: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysore AccommodationPeridot Inn is a 3 Star Corporate guest house specialized in hosting the groups. During our retreats we are taking the entire place, along with lawns and outdoor restaurant. All the rooms are a luxury for Indian standards and meets International standards of hotels with spacious rooms furnished aesthetically and the private bathrooms with western toilet seats, hot showers and sinks etc… We chose this seemingly a bit expensive facility as we found from our past retreats in Himalayas and Kerala that without a comfortable sleep and nourishing food, our students can't focus on the course. A good sleep and proper food can make a big difference in how you enjoy this intensive retreat. We will be doing yoga in a huge hall on the top floor and two other halls within the same building can be used for morning gentle yoga classes and for teaching practice during the second half of the course. Two huge lawns are also available for yoga whenever the weather permits. This Inn has ample staff to keep the rooms and campus clean and to change the sheets and towels regularly. All rooms are connected with Wi-Fi access and Intercom phone. Internet Center at the reception and Laundry Service are available within the campus at a nominal cost. Foods & DrinksWe provide sattvic Indian foods & drinks, which are less spicy and beneficial to the practice of yoga and meditation. Meat and fish are not allowed in our campus. Eggs can be provided on demand, if you think you need more proteins. 05.30 am: Hot Lemon Ginger Drink or Tea without milk We understand that Indian food is new to your stomachs and make sure that you are getting the right food. If anything doesn't suite your tummy, we will provide you with bread, porridge, cornflakes, eggs or any other alternative food that suites your stomach. Cultural Trips:We will be organizing a Cultural Tour on 17th June for visiting all the important places to expose you to the magic of India.

How to Get Here?There is one small domestic Airport in Mysore but the flights are not that regular at the moment. You will have to fly into one of the International airports like Bangalore, Calicut, New Delhi, Mumbai or Chennai and then take a connecting flight to Mysore, if it is available on that day. Nearest International Airports: Bangalore (BLR) / Calicut (CCJ) Bangalore International Airport, well connected with all the cities around the world, is about four/five hours driving distance from Mysore. Kozhikode (also known as Kozhikode) International Airport in Kerala is well connected with all cities in the middle East like Dubai, Sharjah, Kuwait, Doha etc.. There are many connecting flights from the middle east to Europe, Africa and USA/Canada routes. It is about five/six hours drive to Mysore, through forest beautiful hills and forests on the way. One can also fly to New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and then take a domestic flight to Bangalore. Airport Pick-up We organize safe Airport Pick-up with our personal drivers and staff to pick up /drop back the students from/to from both Airports at any time of day or night. For Single females arriving late night or early morning we request you to wait at the airport or we can arrange a hotel closer to airport -- as we don't want to any risk with female students during night. If there will be two/three students it might be okay to drive down to Mysore during the night also. Our designated person will be standing at the Exit Gates holding a placard with our school name. At least two emergency telephone numbers will be given in case if you have any difficulty in finding our person at the airport. Estimation of Airport Transport Costs:
Check the available Flights to Bangalore or Calicut: www.ixigo.com Normally most of the students arrive one/two days before the course start date and also leaves one/two days after the course closing date. So, it is possible to share the car / costs with other students, if you don't mind waiting at the airport for a while. Majority of our students arrive between 12 midnight to 8 am. We will be coordinating the arrival timings with students and if necessary arrange the hotel rooms, if you would like to wait for others to join you. Cheaper option by Buses (for day-time arrivals) If you are a seasoned traveller arriving during the day time, you can easily take buses from Bangalore or Calicut to Mysore. There are special Volvo buses from Bangalore airport to Majestic (Central Bus Terminal) from where you can catch a bus to Mysore every 30 minutes. It will cost about $10 for both buses, but it can take at least 5 to 6 hours, depends on traffic in Bangalore city. There are regular buses from Calicut to Mysore which takes about six/seven hours and costs less than $10. Trains from other parts of India Mysore is well-connected with trains / buses from all four directions of Bangalore, Chennai, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
