Our logo

The MAYI logo shows the objective of imparting the knowledge of the different types of yoga (Hatha, Raja, Karma, Jnana and Bhakti Yoga) and their common practices (Asana, Pranayama, Dharana and Dhyana) to yoga instructors. Its blue stands for the tranquility and calmness that arise from yoga practice. “MAYI” is written on an olai leaf, used in ancient days to record traditional and authentic knowledge of yoga, and the round shape is the earth, where we learn about health and natural life through yoga.
