Yoga is India’s latest cultural export to China. Young urban Chinese are queuing up to learn Yoga from Indian teachers. Rising economic prosperity has also brought with it a stressful lifestyle, and Yoga centres in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong and other cities are providing the Chinese people an avenue to relax.
About 25-30% students enrolled for Yoga courses at premier Indian Yoga institues like Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, Delhi; SVYASA University of Yoga, Bangalore; Kaivalyadhama Yoga Center, Mumbai and BKS Iyengar Yoga Center, Pune are being offered jobs at various Yoga and fitness centers in China. Salaries range between US $ 1000 and US $ 2000 per month.
The first Yoga teacher who popularised Yoga in China is Yogi Mohan. Mohan introduced Yin Yan, a Chinese national, to Yoga in Rishikesh. Yin convinced Yogi Mohan to shift to Beijing and together they set up the Yogi Yoga Center. So far Yogi Mohan has taught thousands of students from all over China. He has also published books and DVD on the subject in China. Last year, China Central Television launched a long series of “Yoga with Yogi Mohan,” which brought him and Yoga, to the limelight.
