Annual Report 2019
We prevent News from Happening!
The Yoga Bharati Bay Area Chapter is happy to share our efforts and achievements for 2019. Our Motto is to transform the world, one individual at a time. Yoga Bharati is a holistic, evidence-based, open system of yoga. We borrow from ancient Hindu classical yoga texts in bringing holistic yoga to society.
We Prevent News from Happening. A child or a destitute on the street can be bad news. But when yoga has silently prevented many such families from becoming distressed and ending up as helpless victims of circumstances and their childhood trauma, it is not news. As Patanjali says - ‘heyam dukham anagatam’ — yoga helps prevent social disharmony and unrest leading to abuse, divorce, crimes, and drug addictions. Yoga is a panacea for establishing social order.
Yes, we do not support an orphan child or rehabilitate an abused destitute. But we prevent the child from becoming an orphan or abused; and a woman from getting battered or molested in the first place. We serve yoga to the society. We offer our humble gratitude to all our volunteers, paid and not paid in many ways.

Who are we?
We are not just “Yet Another Yoga Studio”. We are an institution of yoga. We are affiliated with Vivekananda Yoga Research Foundation (SVYASA), a yoga university in India having a rich background in research-based application of holistic yoga. We cater to modern society's needs without diluting knowledge as a means of commercialization.
