Business plan presentation - May 2019 Warm background

The goal Enlighten Yoga Center

To expand the operations of a YOGA center that is started and passionately run by a true Yogi. The center is re-
introducing YOGA in all its Eight Limbs and remove the notion that YOGA = POSTURES.

To enable the expansion, the Yogapreneur is seeking a socially responsible investor who shares the Centers vision of
economic sustainability with the objective of community happiness.

The expansion is to offer the innovative & invigorating adaptations/ enhancements (conceived by the True YOGI) to
Traditional Yoga by interweaving Ayurvedic/ Osteopathic techniques. This is a unique approach for both preventive as
well as Therapeutic care that has thus far repeatedly shown spectacular results.

What else is YOGA Enlighten Yoga Center

Asanas are just one limb of Yoga – its not Yoga. Its like calling the Engine of a Car as a Car! The engine is only one of the components.

There are four Sutras that describe Real Yoga:

Progress in the present moment
Quiet the Mind

See what is really real
Understand what isn’t real

So, an understanding of Real Yoga leads to an “awakening”, opens your Mind to a bigger picture and greater purpose – allows you live more
Mindfully. This takes you off from simply following day to day tasks – like an being on a autopilot – eventually leading you to an ability to choose
tasks that Truly matter!

Now, this is what Pratimoksha Yoga actually propagates

Yogipreneur – Enlighten Yoga Center

Adopting Ayurveda & Osteopathy

With people coming from very diverse ethnic & cultural backgrounds and noticing the effects of Stress relating to current
imbalanced lifestyles, decided to adopt Ayurvedic principles into the Yoga program – this turned out to be very
successful.

Many students came in with a need for Yoga Therapy . Their physical body presented serious challenge to starting up a
Regular Asana program. So, took up a course in Osteopathy to become a Certified Manual Osteopath. Adopted this
knowledge to help students begin their journey into a regular Yoga Asana program – a kind of rebuilding of the body.

Starting up Enlighten Yoga Center Enlighten Yoga Center

With Dubai government recognizing YOGA as an activity for issuing Trade License, many a center sprouted in Dubai.

Yoga was soon turning into a commercial exercise program – a kind of Spiritual Body Building program. The Mind Body
connect was missing and it became Yoga = Postures.

That is when Enlighten Yoga Center was set up in January 2017.
