Hatha Yoga Institute

What Hatha Yoga Institute does

Hatha Yoga Institute is a private yoga education company founded in December 2019 by Himanshu Raj and Aanchal Raj and headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, India, operating under the Anaditam Yoga Foundation parent organization. The institute delivers direct-to-consumer yoga teacher training via online live courses, in-person instruction at the Pune site, and residential programs, targeting primarily aspiring yoga teachers seeking credentialed certification, with secondary segments of practicing teachers, expectant mothers, corporate employees, and wellness professionals.

Its core curriculum is a structured, multi-tier Yoga Teacher Training portfolio consisting of a Certificate Course (RYS 200/YCB Level 1), an Advanced Certificate Course (RYS 300/YCB Level 1+2), and a combined Diploma Course (RYS 200+300/YCB Level 1+2+3). The underlying pedagogy is grounded in classical Hatha yoga techniques — asanas, pranayama, shat kriyas, mudras, bandhas, and meditation — anchored in Yoga Sutras, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and the eight-limbed Ashtanga Yoga framework. Beyond YTTC, the company runs specialized certificate courses (Pregnancy Yoga, Face Yoga, Mudra Yoga, Ayurvedic Nutrition, Pranayama and Meditation), recurring yoga classes, technique- and health-driven workshops, and sattvic holistic retreats.

Revenue is generated through six streams: certificate/advanced/diploma YTTCs, specialized certification courses, recurring yoga classes, workshops and corporate programs, retreats, and residential training. Pricing is per-program with add-on tiers for study material, hard-copy certificates, and recording access; EMI facilities, early bird offers, and group discounts are offered. The institute is internationally accredited via Yoga Alliance USA (RYS 200, RYS 300, RPYT), YCB Levels 1-3 alignment, ISO 9001:2015, and memberships in the Indian Yoga Association and World Yoga Federation. Distribution is direct via website enrollment, WhatsApp inquiry, and multi-channel content marketing (blog, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook).
