Yogalife

What Yogalife does

Yogalife is a Belgium-based private yoga education organization founded in 1999 by Sanjeev Bhanot, operating yoga teacher training programs and wellness services across five European cities (Brussels, Ghent, Cologne, Geneva, Luxembourg) and a retreat venue in Goa, India. The company's core product is a Yoga Alliance-registered 200-hour Teacher Training Course (TTC) delivered over 9 weekends—a format Yogalife pioneered to accommodate working professionals, with small cohort sizes of 20-26 students at €3,050-€3,250 per student. Supporting products include a 300-hour advanced training stack (Anatomy, Pranayama, Yogic Studies) leading to 500-hour accreditation, a 60-hour Yoga Nidra specialization (€1,250-€1,450), the 10-day Antastha Yatra retreat in Goa (€1,200-€1,500), and a Brussels-based studio offering subscription classes (€65-€120/month) and drop-ins.

Yogalife's technology and methodology are anchored in the Bihar School of Yoga tradition and Hatha Yoga principles, combined with modern adult learning techniques and coaching methodology. Proprietary elements include the weekend-based training format, the Asana Clinic hands-on adjustment methodology, the Continuous Education Program (CEP) that funnels graduates into assistant teacher roles, and the signature Antastha Yoga blindfolded practice. The company maintains a 150+ page training manual now in its 10th edition and holds Yoga Alliance RYS 200 and RYS 300 registrations, with a 4.72/5 school rating from student reviews.

Yogalife makes money primarily through one-time course fees for certifications and retreats, supplemented by recurring studio subscription revenue in Brussels. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via yogalife.be with application form submission and 24-hour response times, layered with community-driven word-of-mouth from a 2,800+ trained teacher alumni network spanning 30+ countries. The company has trained 27,000+ students cumulatively across 126 TTCs and operates as a founder-owned Bhanot family business (Sanjeev, Manoj, and Shweta Bhanot) with no disclosed external institutional investment.
