Past

During one of his visits to Mumbai in the ‘60s, Swami Satyananda met Mani Umrolia and her mother. They became his most staunch devotees. He inducted them into yoga, and made their home at Churchgate his Centre in Mumbai. Mani soon established a reputation as a dedicated yoga teacher, and was appointed as Acharya of the Bihar School of Yoga and its representative in Mumbai. Most people benefit from the Satyananda Yoga tradition today in Mumbai due to her noble efforts.

Throughout the ‘70s, Swamiji’s frequent lectures and yoga workshops were arranged by Mani and a band of disciples and sadhaks.

In 1981, the Mumbai branch of the BSY was established in Santacruz, the premises generously donated by Shri Himmatbai Khira. Two sannyasin yoga teachers from Munger conducted classes. The ashram functioned until 1984.

In 1985, the Satyananda Yoga Centre was officially registered as a charitable society, with the aim of furthering the cause of yoga in Mumbai, under the direction of the Bihar School of Yoga.
