Our main aim here is to teach yoga
as a way of life and as an applied and
practical philosophy based on Classical
Yoga teachings, inspired by The Yoga
Institute (TYI), Mumbai. Owing to this
we try to promote yoga in the most
needed locations.
The Yoga Project - Working for The
Israeli Ministry of Education.
Based on TYI teachings and
inspiration, a unique educational
project was prepared, which was
approved by the Ministry of Education.
The project focused on educating
teachers and school Principals. The
programme is of 40 academic hours,
divided into 10 sessions. Among the
main subjects were:

1. Implementing the Kleshas based
   model for right actions (we called it
   “Avoiding the 5 causes of misery”),
   differentiating ‘Not White, Not Black’
   actions from other ways of acting and
   thinking,


2. Practicing Vairagya as a main
   strategy in the field of education.


3. Understanding the concept of
   Prakriti.

The Ministry of Education not only

approved the programme, but also

granted special extra payments to

teachers and Principals who passed

the yoga course with a 75% mark after

submitting an academic paper based

on research and bibliography on the

subject of “Yogic Attitude in Schools”.

The results were very heartening.

130 students completed the studies

in two years in the Haifa region. Some

of them became yoga promoters,
