WE'RE MORE THAN HOT YOGA
Kolkata's Yoga and Physical Culture system is therapeutic Hatha Yoga in its purest form. It also empowers and awakens you like Kundalini Yoga, allows you to unwind and find balance like Yin Yoga while improving your determination, strength and flexibility like any Power Yoga, Flow Yoga or Pilates class.
TRADITIONALLY MODERN
East India's Yoga and Physical Culture is characterised by valuing and preserving the old with an open mind towards the new. Therefore all our classes are a blend of traditional yogic practices and modern sport science.

WHY THE HEAT?
Bengal, where our Yoga and Physical Culture system has its origins, is what you'd call a hot and humid place. Taking classes in a Yoga room that provides these conditions allows you to practice in the most authentic and effective way. It also minimises the risk of injuries, makes you more flexible, feel at ease and enhances your detox process.

TRAILBLAZERS OF MODERN YOGA
The foresight of East India's yogis, yoginis and physical culturists played a pivotal role in transforming Yoga into the practices we know today. Not only did they make Yoga's therapeutic benefits available to the greater public, but created a revolutionary health system for the body, mind and soul by combining ancient techniques with European gymnastics, weightlifting and Bengal physical exercise (Bayam).

Their visionary ventures into the scientific study of Yoga continue to inspire the research of Yoga Āsana, Prānāyāma and Meditation in modern medicine, neurological and sports sciences. At Kolkata Yoga we continue their legacy of making Yoga and therapeutic physical exercise available to as many people as possible.
