Weather will be very pleasant from June onwards until Feb end Mysore is a small , Green , Highly unpolluted City with many a parks , Lakes, Palaces and many a very famous tourist places are maximum 3 hours from mysore [Read Bangalore,Ooty,Coonoor,Chicmag alur,Wayanad,Coorg,Belur,Haleb eedu,Shravanabelagola] . So you have ample places to Visit during weekends. For Budget, My suggestion is to Stay in a hotel for 1 or 2 days and try getting accomodation. On an average unfurnished 2 Bed Room House on a 1200 Squarefeet Land, the rental will be around 4500 Rs to 6500 Rs / Month. You can very well hire or Buy a Second hand Ungeared Bike [ 50 cc] which will make you totally independant and you could peacefully attend yoga classes and roam around mysore. Mysore is a breeze to Drive and there is no issue whatsoever as population / Traffic is less. If you go for this option, you can find a house a bit away from the high-end residential accomodations in Gokulam IIIrd stage which is walkable to yoga centres. For Budget, you could find a house in "Vijayanagar I stage", "Vijayanagar IInd Stage", "Hebbal I or IInd Stages". If you want package kind of, there are quite a few Paying guest accomodations nearer to Gokulam area where you will get a single room , fully furnished [ Non A/c as A/C is not required in Mysore] with hot water/ TV etc for 3500 Rs / Month. Some of the PGs include breakfast and dinner also along with room Service and "Washing & Pressing Clothes" for this amount. All of the above areas which I mentioned is around 5 - 8 kms from City centre. For Food, it depends on your preference and Cuisine but Lunch/ Dinner Buffet in high-end hotel will be around 250 Rs. And Generally normal hotels will be economical only.
And Lastly there are quite lot of Non-indians practising yoga and within a week or so you will feel at home.

Nice to know the long lost tradition of yoga massage is from India! The approach by your group is nice-in terms of knowing the basics. Maybe for me this is just the tip of the iceberg. I would love to come back for the next level. Roshini is really comfortable to learn with, she has the right approach and technique, of course the master is great!

As a yoga practioner, this form of massage has greatly improved my physical stamina and balance. This form of massage is a delight to receive and give. The training was flawless; the school's approach to learning is enthusiastic. The abundance of the school makes it a delight to be involved, part of the community of learning. Cyriac and Roshini attention to detail and pace of teaching is beneficial to all levels of competency. I will return to share my teachings.
