The Yoga Institute

The oldest yoga school in India, the rather simply named Yoga Institute was founded by one Shri Yogendraji in 1918.

It would be another 30 years before it would find a permanent base in Mumbai’s suburb of Santacruz in 1948.

The institute is spread over one acre of land that is a green haven in the heart of a now-commercialized suburb.

While the institute is sought after by people from all over the world, it continues to function without a lot of fanfare, quietly and with the dignity of a yogi.

If the Institute is to be believed, some 1,000 people visit the Yoga Institute every day.
