ShashiKala Ashtanga Yoga

ShashiKala Ashtanga Yoga Shashikala Govinda is an experienced Ashtanga Yoga instructor based in Mysore. She has also taught abroad in countries such as Singapore and China.

Shashikala Govinda is an experienced Ashtanga Yoga practitioner and instructor based in Mysore. In 1994 at a very young age, she started practising Ashtanga yoga with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. She was one of the few Indian women attending the shala at the time. Shashikala committed to her practice with her guru for 15 years until 2009 when he passed away. Now, with the blessings of her guru, she continues to teach the traditional method of Ashtanga yoga. Also a good to know fact: Shashikala is one of the famous 3 Sisters.

Congratulations graduates ✨

At Three Sisters yoga shala we are committed to keep the true tradition of Ashtanga yoga alive as taught by K. Pattabhi Jois.

Shashikala Govinda has practiced 14 years directly with her guru and has received the blessing to teach primary & intermediate series.

Shashikala is the second Indian woman to teach Ashtanga yoga. She transmits not only the true essence of the practice, but kindness & warmth in her family’s home.

Shala is located where the ‘old Shala’ was situated and you will find an experience of authentic Mysore, with temples and chai at our doorstep.

Grateful for visit of our long term friend Lino Miele at our shala.


We have met many years ago practicing in the ‘old’ shala in Lakshmipuram. It is a gift to cherish those memories shared with our guru K. Pattabhi Jois. We are happy to share time in Mysore as we continue to commit to keep the tradition of Ashtanga yoga alive.

🙏

Thank you for the visit.

Join us to fall in love with the practice ✨
At our intimate shala we create a space for traditional teachings to meet students of all backgrounds wherever they are in their unique process.

Every student is different and the beauty about the Mysore style approach is its emphasis on the personal transmission between student and teacher.

Shashikala has a rich experience being taught for nearly 15 years by her guru in the first shala in Lakshmipuram. Ever since the blessing of her guru, she has been teaching with devotion and love that is felt in every word and touch.

She honors the roots of the lineage and prioritizes student wellbeing by offering individualized support in the poses / props where needed and her gentle and enabling encouragement in the shala’s atmosphere.

The warm moments shared with chai and family after the practice add a unique touch that feels timeless and gives students a glimpse of what Mysore / the practice environment before technology / telephones used to be. Just sadhana & satsang … sharing movement, silence and breaths and cherishing each heartfelt moment.

We are always grateful for students who choose to come and share energy with us.

Come for a drop-in class or stay for deeper study.
We have 2 certified YTT’s coming up in March & April.

Peace is a practice & we are so grateful for students finding their way to their mats to embody it.

At three sisters yoga shala we share the traditional Ashtanga yoga practice, for the body and mind to be free and the breath to become our guide on this life journey.

In this photo we practice first series in Mysore style, where adjustments and support is being given to the student individually and the repetition and structure of the postures quietens the mind. This sequence is called ‘yoga chikitsa’ or yoga therapy .. as when the thoughts become clear, we become attuned to our body and a guardian of our wellbeing.

Join us for one of the two upcoming YTT200 immersions in Mysore.
- March or April 2026
Or join our daily drop-in sessions.
