About KIY.
Founded in 1984 by visionary President Mr. Prabir Karmakar in Jamshedpur, India, the Karmakar Institute of Yoga was established to promote holistic well-being and social welfare through yoga. Mr. Karmakar envisioned yoga as a transformative tool to uplift individuals and communities. Since 1997, Professor Baishali has joined him in this mission, and together they have built the Institute into a global leader in yoga education.
Over the years, the Institute has achieved significant milestones, conducting yoga workshops across Hong Kong, Russia, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Thailand. Through our teacher training programs, we have empowered over 100 individuals to become accomplished yoga instructors, spreading the art of yoga and holistic healing worldwide. Our partnerships include long-standing collaborations with institutions like Tata Steel, where we have provided yoga training for over 20 years, and services to distinguished figures, including the Prime Minister of Bangladesh.
Our Signature Wellness Program is designed to guide individuals toward healthier, more fulfilling lives through personalized plans tailored to their unique lifestyles, goals, and health conditions. We reject one-size-fits-all approaches, focusing instead on bio-individuality and creating sustainable wellness strategies that integrate seamlessly into daily life.
A dedicated team of integrative experts evaluates each client’s medical history, lifestyle, and aspirations to develop holistic plans that address all aspects of life—from work schedules and travel to dietary needs and health conditions. These plans incorporate balanced nutrition, regular cleanses, and lifestyle adjustments, offering clients access to exclusive content, webinars, and ongoing support for a wellness journey that lasts beyond the program.
Our certified practitioners emphasize moderation and balance, steering clear of extreme diets or rigid exercise regimens. Instead, we encourage thoughtful choices, discipline, and staying attuned to one’s body. This approach empowers individuals to achieve lasting well-being and happiness.
At the Karmakar Institute of Yoga, we combine the timeless wisdom of yoga with holistic wellness practices to harmonize mind, body, and spirit. Join us to embark on a transformative journey toward inner peace and optimal health.
