The Yoga Institute Mumbai Details
The Yoga Institute, Santacruz (East), Mumbai, India was founded in 1918 by Shri Yogendraji and is the oldest organized center of yoga in the world. With a broader vision of becoming a householder to propagate the message of yoga, Shri Yogendraji believed that the benefits of yoga should be shared to all instead of keeping it as a secret for very few. Thus Shri Yogendra became known as the Father of Modern Yoga Renaissance.Since many people came to learn yoga only as a solution for their health problems, the founder emphasized on teaching yoga as a way of life and to remove obstacles in one's personality for a better way of living. The Yoga Institute was thus designed more as a ‘Life School' where one learned to live. The simplicity, sincerity and non-commercial angle of The Yoga Institute cater to householders and offers guidelines of how to manage self and keep up one's sanity as well as balance in today's competitive, tension-ridden world.Spearheading the "Yoga for the Householder" movement in the world, the Institute serves thousand people daily for training, health benefits, and consultations. It also offers Yoga teacher-training courses as well as publishes books on yoga therapy, asanas, pranayama, couples counseling, traditional scriptures, ethics for everyday life, and a variety of other subjects on yoga education.Shri Yogendraji's son, Dr. Jayadeva Yogendra, who is the President of The Yoga Institute, continues to carry on the Founder's legacy in a sincere way. World famous Yog Guru, Smt. Hansaji Jayadeva Yogendra is the Director of The Yoga Institute and also serves as President of The International Board of Yoga.
