Manasthala Mindful Living: A Sanctuary for the Body and Mind in Mysuru
Nestled in the quiet, leafy lanes of Gokulam, Manasthala Mindful Living is far more than a traditional guesthouse; it is a holistic sanctuary designed to foster presence and community. Translating literally to “a place for your mind,” Manasthala provides a serene environment where the physical space acts as a catalyst for mental freedom. Founded by Ajay Kumar Warrier ji, the retreat embodies his vision of shifting from a life of consumption to one of conscious connection, offering a space where guests can “meet life with life.”
The essence of Manasthala lies in its commitment to “Homes, Yoga, and Beyond.” The accommodations are mindfully curated to feel like a true home, featuring clean, hospitable rooms equipped with essential amenities like kitchens and washing machines to support a self-sustained, healthy lifestyle. The heart of the property is the Yoga Shala, a vibrant communal hub where guests gather for regular yoga classes, breathwork, and meditation. These inclusive sessions are designed to rejuvenate the spirit, whether one is a seasoned practitioner or a curious beginner.
Manasthala distinguishes itself through its “Mindfully Created Experiences.” Beyond the yoga mat, the retreat offers restorative practices such as Ice Plunge therapy designed to boost circulation and alertness alongside Satsangs, sound therapy, and artistic workshops. The philosophy here is that healing happens through community. Guests are encouraged to share meals, engage in meaningful conversations on the veranda, and collaborate with a diverse network of teachers, artists, and therapists.
By prioritizing a clutter-free environment and a nurturing social atmosphere, Manasthala Mindful Living invites every traveller to slow down, breathe deeper, and find the missing pieces of their personal journey. It is a place to rest, to focus, and ultimately, to gather and grow together.
