Sri Pathanjali Yoga Sikshana Samithi - Yoga Class

Sri Pathanjali Yoga Sikshana Samithi (Regd) Karnataka was founded by Sri A.R. Ramaswamy in 1980 at Tumkur, Karnataka State, South India. He is more popularly known as Ramaswamy Anna among his Yoga friends. He was inspired by eminent Yoga Gurus Padmasri Dr BKS Iyengar, Sri Mallyadi halli Raghavendra Swamy and Sri Ajith Kumar.

With a great mission in mind, Sri Ramaswamy started this yoga centre which offers free yoga training to the aspiring yoga students, to make more and more people lead a healthy and happy life by practising yoga as a part of their life. Today the Samithi has more than 325 Yoga teaching branches, most of them are in Karnataka. More than 10 lakhs of families have already got benefitted from his vision.

Sri Ramaswamy visits each branch of this Samithi and makes sure they are working satisfactorily.

These are some of the photos during one such visit to one of the branches in Bangalore. When he visits the Yoga branch, he demonstrates the yoga asanas to the students and corrects them, if he finds any one doing it "not-so-right-way".

























His visit is usually followed by "Chandini"programme and "Mathru Bhojan".
More photos can be seen shortly.
