The Yoga Institute, established by Shri Yogendra Ji in 1918 is the world’s oldest Yoga Center. Being the world’s first established yoga center, the institute has served as a foundation for the evolution of yoga throughout the world. Its 100 year old legacy is suffused with the ideals, wisdom and practice of Yoga and the yogic way of life. This legacy is also the source of a deep, unwavering, global commitment to self-transformation through Yoga. As part of its commitment to this legacy, the Institute has trained more than 100000 yoga teachers across the globe and has transformed the lives of millions who sought inner transformation, mental peace, and healthy living.
We are the oldest organized Yoga center in the world. In 1918, Shri Yogendra ji laid the foundation of our 100-year legacy which drives us forward to this day. The Yoga Institute has incorporated the essence of classical and traditional yoga systems like Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Mantra Yoga, Laya Yoga etc., so that people can comprehensively derive the benefits from all these systems rather than a single system. Our beloved and esteemed Director, Dr. Hansaji Yogendra, spearheads the efforts of the Institute in her unique and powerful way. Hansama has touched the lives of millions through her graceful and simple teachings.
