History of AYM

ॐ

2005

Foundation Year

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. They registered an organization named 'The Association for Yoga and Meditation' with the government of India.

2005-2006

National Recognition

In 2005, AYM Yoga School 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 centres in India according to the IYF guidelines.
