Centre for Yoga Therapy, Education & Research

Yoga embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature.…Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day

“There are many centers where you can get a Yoga degree, attend a Yoga therapy session

or find Yoga research being undertaken. However, to have all three happening in one

place is surely innovative. This center is indeed a role-model that combines the best of

the East with that of the West.”
