A note from our founder

When I started Meiyogam, I had one wish: to share yoga the way my teachers shared it with me. Not as exercise, and not as a quick fix, but as a way of living.

Our name says what we believe. In Tamil, மெய் means the body, and it also means truth. We begin with the body because that is where you are today. With patient practice, the body leads you to the truth within.

Over the years, many people have come to us tired, unwell or simply searching. I have watched them change, not overnight, but steadily. That is the only promise I can make: if you practise sincerely, something in you will change.

You are welcome here.

    The inauguration: a sacred beginning

    Meiyogam is inaugurated in Chennai: a space devoted to the timeless tradition of classical yoga.

    From the very first day, Meiyogam has offered yoga, pranayama, meditation and Ayurvedic wellness practices, welcoming seekers of all ages and backgrounds.

    Where it began

  2. 20 years

    A grounded practice, not a trend

    For over twenty years, Meiyogam has welcomed students from across Chennai to its traditional yoga and wellness centre, with many between the ages of thirty and fifty-five.

    They come seeking an authentic, grounded approach to yoga beyond passing fitness trends. Each class is taught in English, making the practice accessible and easy to follow.

  3. The archive

    Two decades of teaching, kept

    Over two decades of teaching, Meiyogam has preserved more than 150 GB of recorded yoga classes and workshops, creating a valuable archive of learning and practice.

    The archive also brings together books authored and curated by Meiyogam, allowing its teachings and knowledge to reach students beyond the studio.

    A new home online

    Meiyogam introduces a renewed online space, thoughtfully designed to help visitors explore the centre, discover classical yoga courses and browse its collection of books.

    The next stages will bring recorded yoga classes, learning resources and a dedicated student portal, extending the learning experience beyond the studio.
