With a far-reaching alumni network, the Kendra has created a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about yoga’s potential to improve the health of our body, mind, and soul.
Vision
Well-being for all through Yoga.
Mission
To bring about change in the minds and bodies of people so they can explore their physical and mental potential through Yoga.
BYK Core Values
Holistic Transformation for All
Upholding the belief that yoga transcends mere physical health, we advocate for the comprehensive well-being of body, mind, and spirit for every individual, ensuring no discrimination.
Journey of Self-Discovery
Yoga is more than a practice; it's a journey. We foster an environment where individuals can embark on a path of self-discovery, understanding themselves on deeper levels.
Samvaad
In line with Sri M's teachings, we emphasize the importance of open dialogue. Samvaad isn't just communication; it's a path to enlightenment, helping individuals rise beyond the mundane to understand the profound.
Scientific & Authentic Approach
While we honor ancient yoga traditions, we blend them with a scientific perspective, eliminating any misconceptions or "mumbo jumbo".
Personalized Guidance & Attention
Recognizing the uniqueness of each individual, we offer personal attention to ensure everyone derives the maximum benefit and understanding from their practice.
Our Philosophy
At the heart of BYK's philosophy is the belief that yoga is not just a physical exercise but a method for self-transformation and general well-being. Our courses offer a comprehensive curriculum which covers asanas (physical postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, theory, and spiritual teachings. Through well-tailored training, BYK helps individuals begin their journey of self-discovery and growth.
One of its most distinguishable features is how it encourages individuals to incorporate yoga into their daily lives. Yoga is not something that is left behind when one gets off the mat; it’s something that guides us in every aspect of life. Our approach helps individuals apply the transformative power of yoga in everyday situations. The idea behind this is to reach a sense of harmony with the world around us and achieve holistic well-being
