These days, Yoga is considered as one of the alternative medicines like Ayurveda, Unani, Homeopathy etc., for universally accepted and preferred medicine Allopathy. Yoga, in fact has also a spiritual side to it. It is assumed that the practice of Yoga will take one closer to the divine as in the case of Suryanamaskara which is part of Yoga practice and asanas.

Therefore, it is not surprising there is mushrooming of Yoga Schools with classes conducted by Yoga Gurus all over the world though it originated from India as an ancient religious practice which did good to one’s body, mind and soul.

In Mysuru city, Yoga found its place as an important centre because of a number of Yoga Gurus residing here and imparting knowledge of Yoga as a discipline of life for good health and seeking                   spiritual truth.

The most famous names among Yoga Gurus in city are late K. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Jois, Dr. K. Raghavendra Pai, Yogacharya Dr. P.N. Ganesh Kumar among others and this legacy is being continued by so many others.

No wonder, foreigners were making a beeline to learn the art and skill of Yoga at the feet of these Yoga Gurus, thus making Mysuru in a sense a city that earned good foreign exchange                                   through Yoga.
