Words shared by the people we've taught

After continuous training with Deepa, I am relieved of headaches and lost 11 kgs. Now I feel energetic, focused, and physically fit. Yoga made me mentally strong.

Deepa didi kept me sane during my twins pregnancy – relaxing yet physically challenging. She listens carefully and knows exactly how much to push you.

International recognition

A tradition passed down, not invented

Yoga is a sacred tradition carried through the Guru–Shishya Parampara, preserving authentic yogic wisdom across generations. Divine Tree Yoga Foundation draws on Sri Aurobindo’s vision of holistic human development.

We are grateful to Swami Vidyanand, founder of Yoga Alliance International and the World Yoga Federation, U.S.A., whose leadership continues to strengthen authentic yoga education worldwide.

A renowned traditional yoga master from India, Swami Vidyanand has established several international organisations dedicated to preserving and promoting authentic yoga traditions globally.
