About Mysore Yoga Foundation

Rooted in Tradition. Inspired by Humanity.

Rooted in Wellness. Driven by Humanity.

A charitable trust established in 2019 in Mysuru, Karnataka — at an early stage, and honest about it.

Who we are

A yoga-centred foundation with a wider purpose.

Mysore Yoga Foundation is a charitable trust based in Mysuru, Karnataka. Its roots are in yoga, and in Mysuru, and its aim is to make wellness something that more people can reach.

From that starting point we hope to support education, inclusion and community development, so that wellbeing sits alongside learning and opportunity rather than apart from them.
