Oh so sorry for me very late reply. Ye...Hello Jen! Oh so sorry for me very late reply. Yes, he takes beginners, no problem at all, and not everybody who comes to Mysore is so advance. There are people from all levels, even complete beginners. You'll need to arrange your own accomodation but once you contact Vijay he will give you the contact of somebody that can help you with that. I hope this helps. Good luck.

But having started yoga only this year and still a beginner student, I wonder if I can also join ashtanga class at his shala or any teacher's in Mysore since I heard many serious long time yoga practitioners go to Mysore. <br /><br />Does Vijay teach beginner students and if not can you recommend me any other class? Wondering if his shala provides an accommodation or do I need to arrange myself? Sorry to ask questions that may sound silly. I just have no idea where to start to learn ashtanga yoga and how it's done in Mysore. <br /><br />Thank you.Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277020627848966799.post-61505112982899715412016-01-14T21:12:44.637+05:302016-01-14T21:12:44.637+05:30Haha, hi Kiki. Thank you for the feedback. Yeah...Haha, hi Kiki. Thank you for the feedback. Yeah, have no plans to stop sharing my path :-) I'm sure sometime in the future we will meet at Vijay's shala again.<br /><br />Indeed, although he is very young he is very knowledgable. He knows his stuff and he is humble and full of love. He cares about each one of this students for sure.

I just now realized it is You, the guy ...Hey Marco<br /><br />I just now realized it is You, the guy in front of the shala, besides me at the class here in Mysore! HA! Somehow with my daily research I came across your blog and FB page. Great work!<br /><br />I met Vijay March 2015. I've studied with him for 2 months at the time. His focus on the slow breathing and very precise adjustment made me to return and study with him again; this time for 4 months. The more I get to know Vijay the more I like his approach. He's very young and that made me doubtful; silly me. But he is So humble. His knowledge is wast and his heart is full of compassion yet very brave and full of encouragement. There is something very special in his approach. He gives time and allows time yet for one that does not have so much time (as staying shorter) he strategically approaches the teachings. <br />I feel very grateful to have met Vijay and have been studying with him for longer.<br /><br />See you soon Marco. If not, keep up this great work and keep expanding! <br />Namaste ;)<br />Kiki Kristinahttp://adriaticyoga.com/about-us/about-us-kristina-golubnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277020627848966799.post-33061170194986642462015-04-21T10:07:06.899+05:302015-04-21T10:07:06.899+05:30That's wonderful Magdalena, I hope you do get ...That's wonderful Magdalena, I hope you do get the chance to go to Mysore to practice with Vijay, he is such a wonderful teacher and if I could I would be right there right now practicing with him.
