Yoga Bhawana Mission (YBM), situated on the sacred banks of the Bhagirathi River in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, is not merely a yoga school — it is a Himalayan sanctuary for deep spiritual practice, mindful living, and personal transformation.

The Sanskrit term Bhāwanā means feeling, contemplation, and devotion — qualities that shape every aspect of learning at YBM. Here, yoga is approached not as performance or posture-focused fitness, but as a conscious inner journey — a path of awareness, refinement, and self-realization.

YBM follows the timeless Himalayan lineage of yogic study, where learning expands gradually and holistically. Our teacher training and retreat programs blend classical wisdom with structured modern methodology, offering guidance in:

• Asana & Pranayama: body purification and breath mastery

• Meditation & Mantra: cultivating stillness and inner clarity

• Ayurveda & Yogic Anatomy: understanding body, energy, and healing

• Yogic Philosophy & Ethics: integrating ancient teachings into daily life

This layered learning approach ensures practitioners don’t just practice yoga — they live yoga.

Life at YBM unfolds with Himalayan rhythm — quiet sunrises, meditation by the river, disciplined practice sessions, and evenings immersed in reflection, chanting, or silent walks. Students follow a sattvic diet, early-morning routines, mindful communication, and deep study, allowing the mind to settle and awareness to expand.

The environment nurtures humility, presence, discipline, and inner peace — enabling students to move beyond physical practice and experience the true essence of yoga.
