Honouring Visionaries who Shaped Our Path

Smt. Sitadevi Yogendra, lovingly revered as “Mother,” was a pioneering spiritual force who redefined the role of women in Yoga and helped shape The Yoga Institute into a global movement. Joining Shri Yogendraji in 1927, she fearlessly broke social barriers by bringing Yoga to women and children at a time when it was confined largely to men.

A visionary reformer, educator, and one of the first women to author a yogic text for women, Yoga for Physical Education of Women, she transformed Yoga into a path of dignity, strength, and holistic well-being for countless families. Through her research, writings, and compassionate guidance, Mother empowered generations of women to embrace physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Honoured by Google India for her extraordinary contribution to women empowerment, her timeless legacy continues to inspire seekers across the world.
