Our Story
For nearly two decades, Anokhi Garden has welcomed yoga practitioners from across the world.
Originally nurtured by Italian, French, and Swiss owners, Anokhi has always been a place where people came together through yoga and community.
In 2020, Aditya Damani took over the stewardship of Anokhi Garden,
inspired by its unique spirit and the opportunity to continue its journey.
After many years in finance and investing, Aditya found his path in Mysore through yoga and its vibrant international community. Today, he leads the vision and development of Anokhi, expanding it into a boutique yoga guesthouse, café, wellness community, and growing international platform that connects teachers, retreat leaders, practitioners, and conscious hospitality spaces across India and Europe.
His vision is simple: to make authentic wellness experiences more accessible while preserving the cultural roots of yoga and creating meaningful collaborations between people, places, and traditions.
