Agama is more of a true yoga program though. I enjoyed the classes there as well but some did feel a little basic after I'd been studying in India for months. The twice-daily classes remain similar with a new pose as the focus everyday. The classes weren't all that challenging but it was nice to have that type of focus to work on a particular pose. There are some cute beach bungalows a short walk from the Agama training center that were more expensive than the place onsite or next door. I don't remember what they cost though. Also make sure you find out where most of your classes will be. Agama has added some new buildings at a distance from the main building that's worth renting a bicycle to get to. So you'll want to know where you need to be before you rent a place in the opposite direction. Depending on the time of year, you'll likely be fine having arrangements in advance for a few days and then finding a place that works for you when you get there. And please go to the restaurant across the street and have some juice combos for me. Super yum. Enjoy. Gail,

There wasn't much of a description in the Agama post. I am thinking about doing the accommodation & yoga package for 11,000 thb, but not sure whether it'd be worth shelling out a bit more to stay someone nearby, and whether that would be nicer, or how much it would cost. Cheers! How did the yoga of Agama compare to that of Sanctuary? There wasn't much of a description in the Agama post.

You can personally message the folks who asked about it and see if they liked it. Another option is to message people commenting on their Facebook page, but they're clearly going to be fans of the place, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sampoorna-Yoga-For-Body-Mind-Soul/141165442629954?sk=wall. If you're still looking. There are a lot of options in Mysore as well and it's difficult to choose. I'd start by asking some of the ashtanga teachers you've had and see if anyone liked a specific place. Good luck with your journey.

I think most airports have some sort of prayer room and it makes me wonder if mat-toting yogis will seek them out. That would fire up the yoga and religion debate. Good point.
