The Yoga Institute was founded on 25th December, 1918 by the Founder Shri Yogendraji. It found a permanent base in Santacruz, Mumbai, in 1948. Spread over one acre of land amidst nature, with three buildings dedicated to Yogic activities, this non-profit organization has been running on its own strength for 9 decades now. About 1000 persons visit the Institute every day for training, health benefits and consultations.

Yoga is a way of life and not only Asana, therefore practical applications of yoga include the philosophies behind the techniques of yoga and its implementation in improving the quality of our daily life. The techniques of Yoga aim at removing the cause of the physical illness if any, after that improving the mental attributes on having a calm mind (concentrated and steady) thereby realising one’s own spiritual self and ones purpose in life.
