It was founded by famous Indian yogis in 2005. Our vision is to spread happiness and health through traditional and ancient yogic wisdom.
AYM Yoga School is a true spiritual yoga Ashram, lying 1-km. away from the holy banks of Mother Ganga and in the lap of the lush green Himalayas. It is the largest yoga school in Rishikesh, providing yoga and meditation to its thousands of spiritual pilgrims who come from all corners of the Earth. With over 100 rooms, the facilities are a perfect blend of modern amenities and traditional, spiritual feel and comfort.
In September 2005, it became apparent that a standard for yoga teacher training at the national level (in India) was necessary. Yogi Chetan Mahesh and other well-known yoga experts and great yoga Gurus decided to make a foundation to solve the matter and registered an organization named 'Association for Yoga and Meditation' with the government of India.
The AYM Yoga Studio in Rishikesh and other training institutes follow traditional and ancient yoga practices with a scientific approach. In 2005, AYM Yoga Academy of India also got the status as a National Organization of India and became a member of the (IYF) International Yoga Federation. AYM also sets standards for yoga study centers in India according to the guidelines of the IYF.
Graduates from AYM can register at IYF and the Yoga Alliance USA. There are national yoga associations in most of the countries, which organize yoga activities and sports at the national level. The winners at National level Sports Activities in India can represent at international levels held by IYF. In 2006, AYM passed a resolution to make an administering body for keeping the international standards of yoga by the name of (IYA) Indian Yoga Alliance.
