Yog-Kulam

Yoga. Education. Community.

We bring the discipline of yoga into modern classrooms, pairing timeless practice with contemporary teaching so children and communities can grow stronger together.

What Is Yog-Kulam?

Yoga means union. Kulam describes a place of learning and excellence, in the spirit of the traditional Guru-Kulam. Together, the name captures what we’re building: a home for studying, teaching and researching yoga rooted in its original traditions.

We work to carry the authentic knowledge of yoga forward into today’s classrooms, treating it not as a single lesson but as a way of living — and we’re always keen to connect with other organisations who share that goal.

Our Mission

We pair the depth of traditional yogic knowledge with modern teaching methods, bringing genuine practice into schools rather than a diluted version of it.

Our Vision

A future where yoga is woven into everyday education — helping every child grow physically, mentally and emotionally, and reach their full potential.

Our Plan

We partner directly with schools to raise standards of physical, mental and emotional wellbeing through structured, ongoing programmes.

Why Yog-Kulam

Right now, our focus is integrating authentic yoga into the education system in a way that supports the whole child. Over time, many different styles of yoga have developed — part of our work is bringing that breadth together under one roof, so students and teachers can draw on the full tradition rather than just one strand of it.

Our Programmes

HappYoga

A playful, movement-based introduction to yoga for children, first launched to keep young people active and grounded during lockdown and now continuing as an ongoing programme.

Breathe Yoga

Developed with researchers at universities across Yorkshire, this programme explores how mindfulness and breathing practice can best support young people at school.

Teacher Training

Yoga has been part of life in the UK since the 1960s, and its benefits are well documented. Our training passes that knowledge on to the next generation of instructors.
