About Chaitanya
Yoga Foundation
Chaitanya Yoga Foundation (CYF) is a charitable, non-profitable trust under the Indian Trust Act, established in 2015 by Dr. Sanjiv Pathak, a disciple of the Bihar School of Yoga, who has been continuously serving society through yoga discipline for 25 years. CYF developed a transformative learning institution that engraves the yoga experience and pushes the boundaries in the enlightening path of yoga.
The meaning of Chaitanya is consciousness with intelligence. Yoga is a path of super consciousness, and for that a yogi needs the Chaitanya state on physical, mental and spiritual level. CYF has provided special Yoga Training to various corporate houses and institutions successfully including Eicher Tractor, JCB Ltd., Escort Ltd., Indian Oil Corporation, New Holland Tractor, JK Industries, Maruti Udyog Ltd., Action Construction Equipment Ltd., NIFM (National Institute of Financial Management), and the CCRT (Centre for Cultural Resources and Training) — for which you can view our certificate here, to name a few.
Our aim is to establish CYF as an institution for helping society by educating people towards a yogic lifestyle to maintain a perfect balance in our life in all dimensions, without losing our roots, traditions and spirit of yoga. CYF provides quality education of yoga to students from all over the world, with hands-on experience from all dimensions and styles of yoga. Our students who have completed the Yoga Training Course with us have been benefitted immensely, are doing their best in their careers and lives, and remain connected with CYF for next level guidance.
