BIHAR SCHOOL OF YOGA
The Bihar School of Yoga was established in 1964 as the headquarters of the International Yoga Fellowship Movement. It aims to impart yogic training to householders and sannyasins alike. Since the first Yoga Teachers Training Course in 1968, the school has grown into an international training center of great
renown.
The yoga school is situated at Ganga Darshan, which is built on a large hill, overlooking the Uttar Vahini Ganga. Here, amidst an atmosphere of natural beauty, surrounded by gardens, and a majestic 270 degree panoramic sweep of the river Ganga, a new vision of yogic life is inspired.
The techniques of integral yoga taught here are a synthesis for personal development. Yoga Teachers Training, Yoga Health Management, Individual Sadhana, Kriya Yoga, Mantra Meditation, and other advanced courses are conducted by trained sannyasins on a group or individual basis for day and residential students.
The Bihar School Yoga has always been known for its excellent sannyasa training and was one of the first institutions to initiate and train female and overseas sannyasins on a large scale.
The institution houses a Yoga Research Library with a large collection of books and data where most of the school's publications on yoga, health techniques and research are compiled. Ashram Graphics prints the BSY publications and is staffed and managed by the sannyasins and disciples of the ashram who do everything from typesetting to despatch.
Conventions, tours, seminars, workshops and lectures help spread the yogic message "from door to door and from shore to shore". In addition trained sannyasins conduct organized conventions, seminars and lecture tours throughout all of India and the world. This provides a solution for the yoga-minded people who find it impossible to undertake a journey to Munger or any of the branch ashrams.
