IdentityIntroduction:
Ashtang Yogalay is working on Basic Principles of “Ashtang Yoga” & “Gayatri & Omkar Sadhana” (i.e. Yam, Niyam, Asana,
Pranayam, Pratyahar, Dharana, Dhyan & Samadhi along with Hatha Yoga & Shat karma). The entire process of Learning is based
on Yoga Grantha “Hatha Yog Pradipika”, “Gheranda Sanhita”, “Patanjali Yog Sutra” etc.
Formally, it had been working for propagating basic yoga for years together before coming into existence as an institution. Since it
formally came into being on June 2013. Its sole aim is to spread the good in society with the help of yoga and its relative disciplines.
We in Ashtang Yogalay strongly believe that yoga is a missing link which has led to the degeneration of values in human society.
With the help of yoga and its allied disciplines, we are sure, the society can be restored to its natural health. Also, with the help of
yoga equilibrium in the society can be established between its values, physical and material well being and attainment of a spiritual
level.
Last but not the least, our organisation shall work in establishing a desired emotional quotient in the society which is very important
for evolving a stable social order.
Vision and Mission of Ashtang Yogalay :
Its aim is to present yoga in a scientific and aesthetic way to the world. It teaches various streams of yoga and sadhna through
philosophical and scientific ways in a very simple process. Its endeavor shall be to spread yoga in every nook and corner of the
society.
