Our mission is to spread the knowledge of purest form of age-old, time-tested, traditional, Cassical Yog based on Maharshi Patanjali’s “Ashtanga Yog” with the intention of promoting Holisitic Health (covering Body, Mind, Emotions and Spirit) of the participants; and not just their Physical Fitness; using integrated approach of Asanas, Pranayama, Meditation, Bandhas, Kriyas, Mudras and other Yogic Practices and Philosophy.
(Note : With the present scenario in India of high influence of commercialised Yog with leaning on Westernised yogic practices; which focus on Physical Fitness rather than Holistic Health; there is an urgent need to preserve the sanctity and purity of our Classical Yog which is based on the experience of thousands of Rishis & Yogis spread over more than 5000 years.)
