‘PRATIMOKSHA’- A journey towards inner evolution

Enlighten Yoga Center, one of the best Yoga studios in Dubai UAE, began its journey towards health and wellness as a simple freelance Yoga program. In 2002, Pratimoksha’s founder Ms Lalitha Viswanath conducted a freelance Yoga class for her neighbor to help her stabilize her blood pressure. Her success led to subsequent freelance Yoga classes for those in need and often rendered as a social service.

Ms Lalitha completed a formal Teachers Training Course (TTC) followed by an Advanced Teachers Training Course (ATTC) from Sivananda Yoga organization in 2008. To study more about the human body, she took up a course in Osteopathy to become a Certified Manual Osteopath.

By now, a number of Yoga studios had mushroomed in Dubai as soon as the government started issuing trade licenses to such centers. They attracted people from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds, who came to realize the effects of stress in their busy, often imbalanced lifestyles. Yoga soon turned into a commercial exercise regimen and body-building program.

However, as we see it in Pratimoksha, the vital mind-body connect was missing and Yoga was being offered as just another fitness program.

The concept of a traditional Yoga studio in Dubai

Like-minded Yoga practitioners teamed up and decided to break the pattern of teaching ‘Yoga for WEIGHT-LOSS’. The efforts to bring back a true and traditional Yoga practice led to the formation of the finest Yoga center in Dubai — Pratimoksha. And in January 2017, Ms Lalitha further developed this integrated Yoga course and set up the Enlighten Yoga Center in Oud Metha Dubai. The center is undoubtedly evolving to become the top Yoga training center in Dubai, UAE.
