“Each one has to define his or her own success, but any success is incomplete without the basis is of a healthy body and a sound mind. My vision for this Yogalaya is that every person should discover their higher purpose for which Yoga Asanas are the first step.”
Kutastha Yogalaya is Hyderabad’s first Yogalaya catering to mind, body and soul. The Founder Director Yogi Shashi Vadana Reddy is a Yoga practitioner for the last 25 years and has dedicated her life to Yoga Sadhana as a member of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (YSS) founded by Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda. Her revered guru Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, is the author of the best seller “Autobiography of a Yogi” and is the pioneer of Modern Yoga internationally.
Having given this introduction, it must be made clear to the reader that none of the sacred techniques of Yoga meditation, as taught by Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda are taught in this centre. The official site to take these sacred teachings is www.yssofindia.org.
However, Kutstha Yogalaya guides people who are further interested in meditation towards Yogoda Teachings. Brief 15-minute guided meditations are held in this centre for lay public here. But a regular course in Kriya Yoga is given only through Yogoda Satsanga Society of India – The authorized headquarters at Ranchi.
Most of the publications of YSS are available for any sadhak at the Yogalaya to read. The meditation room on first floor is open for lay people from 9 am to 5 pm daily.
This centre focuses only on Yoga Asanas for health and beauty. Various well-trained instructors teach some of the most beneficial asanas with overall benefit for mind and body. Ms. Shashi goes by the Saral Yoga as taught at Gandhi Yoga Gyan Mandir, Koti. Shashi is a certified Yoga teacher Batch No. 82, 2015 taught by Dr. Sri Praveen Kapadia (Director of Gandhi Yoga Gyan Mandir). All the other instructors are proven for their expertise in Yoga.
The serene and quiet atmosphere of the Yogalaya is conducive for peace, happiness and health.
I love this place with its breathtaking view and simple and quiet interiors. This place is not a money making venture and it encourages real healthy living for all.
My wife has been involved with this place, not only because it is her best friend’s venture, but because of the value system of the place. It is moderately priced and most importantly encourages healthy living through ancient Indian practices.
I know the founder’s passion for yoga and meditation. This was her dream project and she loves to see people happy and healthy around her.
