With this initiative, The Yoga Institute aims to promote a healthier and happier community by empowering society with the knowledge and tools to incorporate yoga into their daily lives. In celebration of Dr. Jayadeva Yogendra's birthday, The Yoga Institute invites everyone to take advantage of this special opportunity to experience the transformative power of yoga through the "Samattvam" Yoga OPD, now offered free of charge.
Dr Hansaji Yogendra believes that making 'Samattvam' accessible to all is a fitting tribute to the humanitarian ethos and memory of Dr Jayadeva Yogendra, who dedicated his life to selfless service by advancing the practice and understanding of yoga.
