About Yoga Bharati Foundation

Yoga Bharati Foundation is a nonprofit organization registered under the Companies Act 2013, dedicated to promoting and propagating the ancient wisdom of India, including spirituality, Indian culture, yoga, and allied sciences, for the holistic well-being of individuals and society.

Founded in 2001 by a group of passionate Indians in the Bay Area, USA, under the guidance of Yogashree N.V. Raghuram, Yoga Bharati seeks to foster an integrated, humanistic society through the spiritual path. We aim to share the multidimensional knowledge of yoga with all sections of society and support better work-life balance through ancient sciences such as Yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedic wisdom.

Our Philosophy

At Yoga Bharati, our approach is rooted in the timeless principles of yoga as expounded by Sage Patanjali, the revered author of the Yoga Sutras (circa 250 BCE), and deeply inspired by Swami Vivekananda, the visionary spiritual leader who introduced the essence of yoga and Vedanta to both India and the West in the late 19th century.

"Saha Nau Bhunaktu" — May We Nourish All with Health and Happiness through Holistic Yoga.
