How the thought came into being
In 2009, one of the co-founders who was born in Delhi, accidently ended up in a Yoga club in Singapore, just for the fun of it. Having just moved to Singapore from Melbourne and part of the corporate bandwagon, he had no idea the extent Yoga practice will impact him both physically and mentally. Within 1 year he threw away the corporate attire and went on his own entrepreneurial journey. Along with other business pursuits, he wanted to venture into building Yoga footprint primarily targeting cosmopolitan city living dwellers. He wanted everyone to experience the feeling of internal peace and physical liberation which he himself experienced after every yoga class he undertook.
After evaluating the Yoga ecosystem in multiple countries – Australia, Singapore, New Zealand and India over almost 14 years, he took the big plunge in 2022 by selecting India to bring his innermost desire to life.
Why India
Of course! Yoga originated in India. Ironically, not a single stand-alone Yoga club existed in India yet!
Having visited Yoga clubs around the globe and having seen the whole world falling deep in love with Yoga, He felt uncomfortable with the thought of not having anything like that in the country where Yoga originated and at his own birthplace.
Yoga and India are two sides of the same coin but for city living Millennials and Gen X, there is hardly any professional Yoga club where one can let go and breathe. Remember, these age groups want to have fun, socialize, sweat, and exercise at the same time. He knew Yoga was much more than a physical workout and is the only sustainable exercise of both mind and body. But he also believed a healthy body and mind comes first before anyone embarks on their spiritual Yoga journey.
The seed was sown and the unprecedented journey of building India’s very First Premium Yoga club, at par with the top 3 yoga clubs globally Began.
Target demographics primarily being city-living Millennials and Gen X.
