Are you the owner of SPYSS Ayyappa temple?

Welcome to SPYSS Ayyappa Temple, a sanctuary for holistic wellness and community growth through the transformative practice of Yoga. Begun in 1980 as a modest yoga camp in Tumkur, Karnataka, SPYSS has blossomed into a sprawling organization with over 700 branches globally and a thriving community of more than 40,000 voluntary teachers. Carved by the insightful vision of Chief Convener Shri A R Ramaswamyanna, and under the spiritual guidance of Holiness late Shri RaghavendraSwamiji of Malladihalli, the samiti embodies the rich teachings of legends like late Shri Ajit Kumar and late Padmavibhushan Dr. B. K. S. Iyengar.
At the core of SPYSS’s mission is a desire to foster a better society through the tenets of Sanskara (value-based behavior), Sanghatane (unity under a bigger cause), and Seve (service to humanity). These foundational principles guide the daily yoga sessions, where practitioners experience profound changes in their conduct, health, and overall outlook on life, all while nurturing strong family bonds and a positive societal impact.
Beyond the physical postures and breathwork, SPYSS addresses broader societal concerns including health, moral education for children, youth mentoring, and promoting cleanliness and hygiene. The voluntary instructors at SPYSS contribute their time and knowledge freely, making it the world’s largest voluntary service organization in the realm of Yoga, touching millions with their selfless service.
Join the ever-growing SPYSS family and be part of a global movement that emphasizes the essence of “One for All and All for One,” promoting social enrichment and personal transformation through Yoga Sadhana. Discover the true harmony of body, mind, and spirit here at SPYSS Ayyappa Temple, where every practitioner is welcomed with open arms and united in the journey towards a better self and society.
