About Yogakulam Academy

Our Story

Yogakulam Academy is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School in India dedicated to preserving and sharing authentic yogic knowledge with students from around the world. Our teacher training programs combine traditional yoga practices with modern teaching methodologies, creating a transformative learning experience for aspiring yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners.

The name Yogakulam originates from two Sanskrit words: Yoga, meaning union, awareness, and transformation, and Kulam, meaning family or community. Together, Yogakulam represents "A Community of Yogis"—a place where students from different cultures, backgrounds, and countries come together to learn, grow, and support one another.

Since 2016, Yogakulam Academy has welcomed more than 5,000 students from over 60+ countries. Whether joining us for Yoga Teacher Training, Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga, Kids Yoga, Sound Healing, Retreats, or Online Programs, every student becomes part of our growing international yoga family.

Our residential campuses in Kerala, Mysore, Goa, and Bangalore, along with our live online programs, provide an immersive environment where students deepen their practice, develop teaching skills, and experience the authentic yogic lifestyle in peaceful natural surroundings.

More than earning a certification, our mission is to inspire personal transformation, cultivate lifelong learning, and help our graduates confidently share the wisdom of yoga with communities across the world.
