What is the AYB Mysore Challenge?

With the many things we do in life it can be difficult to maintain a daily Yoga practice for many of us.

It has become an annual tradition for us to invite all practitioners to get out of the comfort zone. So join the challenge and see how practicing 5 days per week feels for you!

To help you overcome difficulties you will get a price from us for practicing 5 days per week for 4, 5 or even 6 weeks! See below!

And who knows, for many daily practice has become a habit after our challenges

Go beyond! The challenge of self-inquiry - "what can I do?"

We all know that donations can never be enough. Shouldn't we - as Yoga practitioners - do more and change our own lifestyle?

Nobody can be perfect, but we know that each one of us must improve.

What am I eating? How much am I shopping? How much energy am I wasting? Am I buying fair and sustainable products? Am I travelling just for fun or do I really have to? What could be done with the money and energy instead?

Let's all begin the new year extra mindful and observe ourselves objectively rather than judging others. Let's be honest with ourselves!

Inner and outer transformation

Daily Yoga practice is self-transformative - if done mindfully! A self-transformation based on ethic principles (e.g. the 5 yama-s listed in Patañjali Yoga Sutra) is your small but not meaningless contribution to a better world.

"Anyone can practice. Young man can practice. Old man can practice. Very old man can practice. Man who is sick, he can practice. Man who doesn't have strength can practice. Except lazy people; lazy people can't practice ashtanga yoga." (Sri K. Pattabhi Jois)
