Dr. Asana Andiappan Yoga Centre: A Legacy of Healing Through Yoga
Dr. Asana Andiappan Yoga Centre is an esteemed institution, rooted in a family tradition of dedicated yoga practitioners, has played a significant role in promoting and raising awareness of yoga throughout India over the decades.
The centre’s founder, Guruji Dr. Asana Andiappan, had dedicated over 70 years to the practice of yoga. His profound commitment stems not only from an interest in its spiritual dimensions but, more significantly, from its curative effects, which have become his lifelong vocation. Guruji Dr. Andiappan had been instrumental in the evolution of yoga, shaping it into its contemporary form. Through extensive research, he had unearthed numerous therapeutic secrets from ancient yogic texts, notably Thirumoolar’s seminal work, Thirumandiram, which uniquely details the curative aspects of yoga, particularly in its third Tantra on Ashtanga Yoga. Based on these profound insights, Guruji Dr. Andiappan had developed unique sequences of curative asanas, making these therapeutic benefits accessible to thousands of practitioners.
Located in Anna Nagar, Chennai, the centre offers a comprehensive range of yoga classes from Monday to Saturday. Offerings include regular yoga classes, specialized yoga therapy classes, group classes for beginners, and residential yoga therapy programs for chronic ailments and individuals with special needs.
Further extending its reach, the Andiappan Yoga Community (AYC), a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization of International Yoga Academy (IYA) certified instructors, brings the therapeutic tradition of Thirumoolar’s yoga to underserved populations. The centre also aims to further promote the value of Yoga and Naturopathy globally, with plans to establish a yoga ashram in India offering full-time and part-time teacher training courses, alongside free yoga training for school students and financially disadvantaged youth, facilitating their employment as yoga teachers both in India and abroad.
