Aakikceyogam Research Trust | Yoga in Puducherry

Aakikceyogam Research Trust stands as a living testament to the timeless wisdom of yoga and traditional Siddha medicine. Rooted in the teachings of the revered Saint-Poet Thirumoolar, this serene sanctuary in Pondicherry offers a profound journey into the ancient art of Ashtanga Yoga, which intricately combines eight essential disciplines for holistic well-being. Guided by the rich heritage and spiritual insights of Tamil culture, the Trust fosters an environment where every individual can attain physical, mental, and spiritual harmony.

At Aakikceyogam, the practice of yoga transcends mere physical postures. The studio emphasizes the importance of adhering to ethical principles (Iyamaum and Niyamum) to cultivate a mindful and disciplined approach to life. This holistic philosophy encourages practitioners to explore deeper connections between the body, mind, and soul, ultimately aiming for self-realization and Siddhu (perfection).

The Trust also collaborates with international research institutions, notably partnering with the French Government Research Institute, to delve into the ancient remedies of Siddha medicine. This form of traditional medicine, originating from southern India, predates many modern systems and offers invaluable insights into achieving optimal health and longevity through natural means.

Aakikceyogam Research Trust welcomes all to partake in its community-focused initiatives, providing classes from Monday to Friday and offering online support for global accessibility. Join this vibrant community to immerse in the transformative practices of Ashtanga Yoga and Siddha medicine, gaining not just physical robustness but a profound sense of inner peace and enlightenment.
