ABOUT US

Yoga Vidya Niketan (YVN) was founded in 1974, on the auspicious day of
'Gudhi padwa', by a small group of Yoga Lovers under the dynamic leadership of
Late Yogacharya Padmashree Sadashiv P. Nimbalkar, the Founder-Director of the
Institute.
Shri Sadashiv P. Nimbalkar, son of a Primary School Teacher started his career
also as a School Teacher. His association with a pioneer of Yogic Science, Swami
Kuvalayanandaji, since 1958, changed his entire life style. He then cherished the
dream of taking Yogic Science to every household and commoners for their good
health and for the development of their personality. Association with Swamiji was
a great fortune for Shri Nimbalkar as this gave him an opportunity to enlighten and
enrich himself with a new vision, a scientific approach to Yogic Science. Hatha
Yoga, which was deemed to be secretive, young Nimbalkar, took a challenge to
take this esteemed science to masses and to spread Yoga to commoners for their
welfare and good health. His yeomen's work in the field of Yoga has been
recognized by Govt of India by awarding a title of 'Padmashree' to him in the year
2004.
Main objective of YVN is to reach our ancient heritage, the Yoga Shastra, to
every door step, and spread the knowledge and techniqueof performing Yogic
Practices for attaining and maintaining positive health and personality development
irrespective of any religion, caste, creed,age or sex. Starting from modest
beginning, YVN's activities have grown rapidly and manifold over the years.
YVN's specially designed Graded Yogic Course are based on the ancient
principles of yoga, blended with the modern tenets of Physiology, Health,
Education principles etc. and tailor made to suit every individual's needs. The
courses presently conducted by YVN are Diploma in Yogic Education (Yoga
Teachers' Training course), Diploma in Yogic Therapy, Naturopathy and Natural
Living (Post Diploma Course). Both the courses are conducted at Dadar and its
own premises 'Yoga Bhavan', at Vashi as well as online on zoom platform. Besides
these courses YVN also conducts Regular Yoga centers, predominantly at different
parts of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai for the good health of common man and to cater
the needs of ailing people with tailor- made Yogic Practices.
Yoga Summer Course is another unique activity of Yoga Vidya Niketan
organized every year in the month of May to fulfill its motto "योग विद्या घरोघरी '' or
"Yoga at Every Home".
All these activities of the Institute are being done with a spirit of dedication
and with a missionary zeal.

 SOME FEEDBACK ABOUT YTTC
The Teacher's Training Course conducted by Yoga Vidya Niketan is unique. Great emphasis
is laid on clarity of yogic concepts through a rightly designed "Graded Course" by
Padmashree Sadashiv Nimbalkar and no effort spared in imparting an immaculate
understanding of techniques of yoga practices. In the process, the students recognize their
own potential and the journey from being a student to being an ardent follower of yoga starts.
Madhura Karambelkar
Bcom, CA, Yoga Teacher, +91-98192 53385

YVN's TTC is not only a Teachers Training Course, but it's a Total Transformation Course.
I have re-discovered myself and my capacities during this course. It enhanced my personality
and my thought process. The entire journey throughout the year was never before
experienced in any other educational system.
Dr. Sharvari Abhyankar
BAMS, +91-9820099710

The course is well-structured and covers every aspect of Yogic Science. Well trained,
qualified and dedicated teachers make it more interesting and ensure that students are on the
right path all the time. Scientific and lucid interpretation of Hathayogic Texts and Yoga
Sutras from Patanjal Yoga Darshan is also an integral part of the curriculum, which helps in
understanding the Yoga Philosophy.
Mahesh Karambelkar
BE (PRODUCTION), MBA (FINANCE), +91-98192 04546

I joined YVN's TTC for health reasons. Being a housewife, it was a totally new experience
for me. It has given me an opportunity and the freedom to express myself. When I was called
as a teacher, I felt really honoured.YVN is not only imparting knowledge of Yoga but it helps
develop "Health and Peace". I am associated with YVN for last 10 years and would like
to continue.
Mrs. Anita Kolhe
Bsc, Electronics, Yoga Teacher, +91-9987722131

I am closely associated with YVN since 1985 - from being a student of the Summer course,
Diploma in Yogic Education and Diploma in Naturopathy. From 1987, I am managing the

at the Diploma in Naturopathy and Natural Living. I have conducted many Yoga programs
for students and yoga lovers including making presentations at International Yoga
Conferences. Its a pleasure to be working with a team of highly talented and eminent teachers
