Yoga in Varanasi? The question arises in the recent years many times, when Rishikesh got the popularity as a major Yoga centre , McLeodganj as a major centre of Vipasna and the backwaters in Kerala as a centre of Panchakarma. But, the answer to this question and the importance of Varanasi lies in the fact that this is the city of Lord Shiva, the supreme Yogi. He is the Yogi, from where all the Yoga started, at least, this is what we learn from the mythology. Varanasi is a famous place for Hatha Yoga, performed by the Aghoris from many centuries; it is also the birth place of Ashtanga Vinyasa.
Yoga is the science of mind, an experience of soul. It is a practice of inner development. Many Yoga schools and centres offer an authentic Yoga learning experience within the sacred city of Varanasi. Few famous Yoga schools in Varanasi are:
