Inaugural

YOGA FOR HEALTH AND HEALING:
Yoga is one of the most important facets of the Indian Culture. It has a living tradition of more than five thousand years. As a philosophy no doubt, Yoga offers a transcendental vision of reality. But more important than this is a fact that as a practical discipline it offers precise way to realize that vision.
Though Yoga is meant essentially for the spiritual development, it is possible only when the body and mind are healthy. For this purpose Yoga has developed a unique system-comprising if numerous physical and mental practices. It makes the body and mind work at their highest level of efficiency and also helps in removal of all those factors, which would reduce its efficiency.
Thus Yoga is a science of spiritual development and also a science of Health and Healing.

THE CENTRE:
This centre is joint effort between SHREYAS and KAIVALYADHAMA Yoga Institute Lonavla to promote Yoga, as an art of living and science of experience.

SHREYAS:
Shreyas, a pilot project dedicated to children and a pioneer in the field of education, was established in Ahmedabad, Gujarat I, in 1947 in the wake of India's Independence. Shreyas, which is of an all India and international character, is located on a beautiful hill covering twenty-eight acres of weeded land. It would not be an overstatement to say that Shreyas is unique and rare.
The principal objectives of the Shreyas Foundation are “Charitable purposes including relief to the deserving, education, medical relief, promotion of science, art, literature and advancement of any object of general public utility”.

KAIVALYADHAMA:
Swami Kuvalayananda, who established Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute three quarters of a century ago in 1924, had an earnest tenacity to define the ancient traditions of Yoga through modern scientific investigations and was convinced that this knowledge would be of great help in bringing both material and spiritual upliftment of human society.
Swami Kuvalayananda not only laid foundation of Kaivalyadhama but also ushered in a new era in which Yoga came to be recognised as India's worthy contribution to the world culture. Kaivalyadhama has played a major role in this renaissance of yoga. Its success in blending the ancient wisdom of Yoga, with the modern knowledge based on rigorous scientific investigations, has made yoga easily accessible and acceptable for the modern man.

CLASSES:
Everyday, except Sundays and declared holidays there will be Yoga Classes in the morning and evening. Asanas, Pranayama and Kriyas will form part of the schedule. Special lectures will also be arranged to develop a better understanding amongst the practitioners.
