Where Ancient Yoga Meets Modern Science
Tucked away in the serene outskirts of Bengaluru, S-VYASA (Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana) is not just a yoga school — it’s India’s first yoga university dedicated to integrating traditional yogic wisdom with modern scientific research. Recognized globally, S-VYASA is where seekers, scholars, and wellness professionals come to deepen their understanding of yoga beyond the mat.
What to Expect at S-VYASA
The university offers a wide range of programs — from short-term yoga retreats to PhDs in yoga therapy and yogic science. It is also home to Arogyadhama, a holistic wellness centre that applies yoga and Ayurveda to manage lifestyle-related diseases and mental health conditions.
Key offerings include:
- Postgraduate courses, workshops, and retreats in yoga philosophy, therapy, and education
- Personalized yoga therapy for stress, diabetes, anxiety, and chronic pain
- A peaceful, structured campus environment focused on inner discipline and wellness
S-VYASA’s approach combines asanas, pranayama, meditation, chanting, and research-based interventions, making it ideal for serious practitioners, yoga teachers, and health professionals.
Where to Explore It
S-VYASA is located at Prashanti Kutiram, about 35 km from central Bengaluru, on a quiet, green campus near Jigani. It’s a residential university, with on-campus lodging, vegetarian food, and a set routine for study, practice, and rest.
International students and scholars from over 30 countries regularly attend courses and research programs here.
What Else to Explore Nearby
While the focus here is inward, those extending their visit can explore Bannerghatta National Park, Art of Living International Centre, or take a quiet break at nearby nature farms and cafés. For anyone looking to combine science-backed wellness with yogic tradition, S-VYASA offers one of the most comprehensive experiences in India.
