The Yoga Academy of Pune strives to give students from eastern and western cultures alike intensive instruction in yoga asanas as well as in pranayama. Small classes make individual tutoring possible. Because students are challenged to an optimal extent they make fast progress. Aware that yoga asanas and pranayama as well as the Ayurvedic teachings on health are part of a comprehensive philosophy, the Yoga Academy of Pune gives students the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and experience in all of these disciplines. The practice of asanas and pranayama prepares the body and mind to meditate, which is the ultimate goal in yoga.

The Academy emphasises on Samyoga - an integrated approach where all the Yogas, Jnana (knowledge), Bhakti (devotion), Karma (action) and Raja (mind and meditation) are taught to deepen the understanding and practice in day to day life. This also clarifies as to what Yoga is NOT. Mystical beliefs and experiences do not find a place in these teachings..
