Centre Lothlorien is affiliated with ”The Yoga Institute” in Mumbai, India, the oldest organized yoga center in the world. The Yoga Institute is founded by Shri Yogendra who was taught Yoga by a Sadhu. Sadhu’s are the original practisers of yoga. They devote their lives to attain enlightenment, but live solitary lives and keep their knowledge to themselves. Shri Yogendra is the first Yogi to start a family and make the knowledge of yoga public. For over 100 years the Yogendra family has shared their knowledge and Centre Lothlorien is the first to offer their study program in Europe.
