Yoganjali’s Background

The name Yoganjali was chosen by TKV Desikachar after visiting the building in 1998
before it became a Yoga Centre from January 1999.

The word anjali means to offer with respect for whom is receiving.
So Yoganjali - pronounced as in Patanjali - is where Yoga practice
is offered with respect for the student and their situation.

Here teaching the Art of Personal Yoga begins with an inquiry into the students
outer limitations and evolves towards exploring their inner potential.

The Yoga Study and Training Programme at Yoganjali was established by Paul Harvey and reflects
the teachings of TKV Desikachar and his father and teacher the eminent T Krishnamacharya
as taught to Paul through personal lessons in India with his teacher over 23 years.

The aim at Yoganjali is the appropriate application of Yoga through group classes and individual lessons
respecting the spirit of TKV Desikachar's teaching.

The Centre offers all the facilities a Yoga student needs for supporting practice and study
with a large warm group room with good light, wood flooring
and both overhead and under floor heating systems.
