Nestled in a corner of The Yoga Institute premises is a gazebo. Lined with greenery and tucked near the famous Kailashpati tree, this garden shelter is an ideal place to meditate, practice asanas, and conduct satsang practices as well as group discussions. The gazebo is a great place to spend time on hot summer days as the open layout allows the breeze to flow through and the roof provides cooling shade. The natural, calming environment makes the gazebo the most sought-after corner of the Institute.

- About the Institute: The Yoga Institute, Santacruz (East), Mumbai, India was founded in 1918 by Shri Yogendraji, and is the oldest centre of yoga in the world. Shri Yogendraji believed that yoga was not meant exclusively for bearded men living in the mountains, and he wanted to bring it to householders—the men and women who have to work, toil, commute, earn a living, raise children, and fight the battle of life everyday. He wanted to bring it to people living in the town and the city, because he believed that the householder could benefit immensely from this knowledge. Little surprise then that Shri Yogendra is known as the Father of Modern Yoga Renaissance. Although most people wished to learn yoga only to address their physical problems, Shri Yogendra wanted the Yoga Institute to be more than a place that would help them cope with physical ailments. He wanted it to be a `Life School’ where one learnt to live. The Yoga Institute, with its simplicity, sincerity, and non-commercial outlook, reaches out to householders and attempts to help them lead happy, healthy, and balanced lives in a world that is constantly throwing up challenges.
