What Is the Himalayan Institute’s Approach to Yoga?

The Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy (Himalayan Institute) teaches a holistic yoga that aims to provide a bridge between body and mind. The Himalayan Institute, founded in 1971 by Sri Swami Rama (1925–1996), is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people grow physically, mentally, and spiritually by combining the best of the knowledge from both East and West. 

The Institute’s international headquarters is located in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. It offers programs in yoga through branch and affiliated centers throughout the United States and the rest of the world. The Himalayan Institute’s approach to yoga utilizes the traditional practices of raja yoga to unify body, mind, and soul.
