Additional Information by yoga.in:
Be aware that, being such a prestigious place - one of India's top yoga centers -, it is quite difficult to join a class at this yoga institute. There is a waiting list of 1-2 years... And there are many pre-requisites (e.g. min. 8 years of training in Iyengar yoga, endorsement by your trainer).
You've been to this center. Do you recommend it?
