Asha Jyoti Anand Yog Peeth Foundation

Asha Jyoti Anand Yog Peeth Foundation is a small place over here in Mathurapur. Dev Dutt Mahto is the one who keeps everything running day to day. We do not have a big studio with mirrors and air conditioning like you see in the cities. It is more of a traditional space where we practice and talk about health. People from the neighborhood come by when they have some free time. We wanted a place where the local community could gather without it being a big deal. The foundation is not about making money or being famous. We just like the idea of yoga and how it helps people feel a bit more balanced. Sometimes it gets a bit dusty or the rain makes the path hard to walk on, but we make do. Mathurapur is a good place to be and you will find us easily if you ask for Dev Dutt's place. We are not experts who think we know everything. We are just learners really, sharing what we have picked up over the years. We try to keep things quiet, but with the village noises, it is not always easy. We do not mind the goats or the tractors passing by because it is just part of life here. Dev Dutt usually starts early in the morning and if you come by then, you will see a few of us. We are just happy to have a spot for this.
