The
Yog-Ganga Centre For Yoga Studies was founded in June 1988 by Swati
and Rajiv Chanchani. Its aims are to promote the study of Yoga in
the tradition of the revered sage Patanjali. The activities of this
centre are guided by the renowned Yoga-master, Yogacharya B.K.S.
Iyengar of the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute, Pune, India.
The
Yog-Ganga Centre was initially based in Mussoorie. In 2002 the centre
was shifted to a quiet, forested suburb of Dehradun known as Old
Rajpur, which is in the lower Himalayas.
This
new centre comprises of a specially designed building constructed
of brick and locally mined limestone. This building encloses a 1500
sq.ft. well equipped Yoga hall, a library, a venue for lectures
and demonstrations, a reception and changing rooms. Well landscaped
gardens on terraced slopes abounding in trees, shrubs and flowers
make the situation idyllic for the practice of Yoga.
Yoga
training at the Yog-Ganga Centre consists of ongoing general classes,
children's classes, remedial classes and intensive courses. Asana
and pranayama are taught. Talks on aspects of Indian philosophy,
and ayurveda are also held. On important occasions special cultural
events are staged.
The
directors of the Yog-Ganga Centre also conduct Yoga courses at other
venues in India and overseas.
