Situated in the sacred city of Vrindavan, near the serene banks of the Yamuna River, the Shri Sankat Mochan Yoga Research Institute (S M Yoga) offers a sanctuary for those seeking physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Since its establishment in 1976 by Acharya Dharmnath Shastri, S M Yoga has dedicated itself to the research and revival of the ancient Indian science of Yoga, promoting peace, health, and joy in today's fast-paced world.
The institute's mission is deeply rooted in spreading a holistic approach to health and spiritual growth. As the only Indian Government-certified Yoga Institute in Vrindavan, S M Yoga stands out not only for its institutional credibility but also for its idyllic setting. Nestled along the famed Parikrama Marg, the institute is enveloped by nature’s tranquility—boasting fresh air, ayurvedic trees, and an atmosphere conducive to profound personal growth and healing.
Beyond yoga instruction, S M Yoga is committed to community service. The ashram offers naturopathic treatments and operates a gurukula school for underprivileged children. Regular initiatives include distributing free Prasad, celebrating festivals with the community, and providing classes on ancient Indian spiritual texts. The center runs numerous volunteer projects aimed at alleviating local pollution and poverty, and enhancing its facilities to better serve all visitors and residents.
Every contribution, whether through volunteer work or financial support, is invaluable to the institute's mission of Seva (service). Join S M Yoga to experience yoga's transformative power, support community initiatives, and immerse yourself in the spiritual heartbeat of Vrindavan. Radhe Radhe!
