Jois still holds daily classes at his Yoga Nialam in Mysore where he encourages amazing sequences of asanas from his students with instructions given in his own simple English.The crowded sweaty room resounds with
WHY YOU CRY ?, WHY YOU DANCING ?? , WHY YOU LATE ??, YOU COME !!, WHY YOU FALL OVER ?, BAD LADY !, BAD MAN 40 DOLLAR FINE !
While some complain about the premium price of his classes and others that his touch is overly invasive;
growing numbers of ashtanga students make the pilgrimage to his yogashala every year. The busy season
is from December to March when upto 140 students are instructed daily in a room which barely holds 12.
