Executive Summary
Hatha Yoga is an ancient discipline that explores, develops, and integrates the
body, mind, and spirit. Yoga systematically stretches and strengthens muscles
throughout the body, increases circulation to internal organs and glands, quiets
the nervous system, and improves concentration. This ancient system of self-
care brings vitality, health, deep relaxation, and peace of mind.
The style of Hatha Yoga taught is the Anusara method. Anusara Yoga is a new
style of yoga that is heart-oriented, spiritually inspiring, yet grounded in a deep
knowledge of optimal body alignment in the poses. Instructors encourage
students to listen to their body, respect its wisdom, and to progress at their own
pace.
Deep relaxation is taught in each class after completion of the postures. The
intention of the instructors at Aarogya Yoga Center (AYC) is to assist students
in the development of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being: a truly
priceless health advantage.
The Aarogya Yoga Center offers 8 eight-week sessions of classes per year.
Courses offered include Anusara-style Hatha Yoga plus workshops in related
topics. The Yoga Center features well-trained, professional instructors,
progressive teaching methods, a non-competitive and encouraging atmosphere,
and a beautiful light-filled facility.
The Aarogya Yoga Center also has a boutique that will sell workshop clothing
and yoga training aides.

Mr. Jatin Srivastava will be the instructor and director. He has done Advance
Diploma in Yoga. Has a experience of 8+ years. He is associated with various
yoga groups at local and state level.

1.2 Mission
The mission of Aarogya Yoga Center is to give the student, whether a beginner
or advanced a place to practice Anusara. It is our intention to keep the teaching

for the teacher to always act responsibly and with the student's interest in mind.
No matter what we learn or from whom we learn the real and only teacher is
within.

According to the government's Make In India report, the wellness industry in
India is worth INR 490 billion, and wellness services alone comprise 40 percent
of the market. The AYUSH sector (Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani,
Siddha and Homoeopathy) has an annual turnover of around INR 120 billion.
The sector is dominated by micro, small and medium enterprises, accounting for
more than 80 percent of the enterprises.
The government has set up a dedicated Department of AYUSH with the aim of
providing impetus to these ancient healthcare systems, and opportunities for
investment, education and research, health services and training in the AYUSH
sector.
The products market is worth about INR 40 billion with over-the-counter
products such as digestives, health food and pain balms constituting almost 75
percent of the segment. India has 9,000 units engaged in the manufacture of
AYUSH drugs. In 2013-2014, AYUSH exports amounted to INR 22.7 billion.
Of the exports, raw medicinal herbs account for INR 11 billion, medicaments
for INR 9.7 billion, and medicinal extracts for INR 1.9 billion.

firms are facing the problem of stress among their staff members and yoga is
not only the greatest stress buster, but is also an effective therapy option,” the
report said.
The International Yoga Festival in Rishikesh in March this year was packed,
the Bengaluru magazine editor tells me. “There were as many Indians as there
were foreigners. I met this charming Japanese yoga instructor who has been
visiting Rishikesh for the past 15 years. To bring some novelty to the workshop
proceedings at the fest, he customized his yoga style and called it Shinto Yoga,”
she says. In fact, there are as many variants of yoga as there are enthusiasts. But
whether or not these serve the higher purpose of the union of mind, body and
breath is a different issue altogether.
“Asanas have begun to represent yoga, whereas traditionally, it is considered as
only one aspect of yogic lifestyle. Asanas were practised by yogis as a means to
transcend the physicality to a higher state so the body does not become an
obstacle in the aim. But today, for the larger population in the world, yoga is all
about asanas. Purists would argue that it is distortion of yoga. Liberals, on the
other hand, feel whichever aspect of yoga we focus on, it will be beneficial to
our existence, even if it is just the asanas,” she says.
Besides the mushrooming of boutique yoga studios, the business of yoga has
also sprouted a lucrative ancillary market. Yoga apparels, yoga cafes, yoga mats
and accessories are big money magnets. Indian brands like Urban
Yoga, Forever Young, Do you Speak Green and Isha Shoppe to global ones like
Prana and Yogasmoga are all showing how it is done in style.

Riding The Bandwagon
As with any marketing push, there are many who are hitching their ride to the
yoga bandwagon. Spicejet announced its mid-air yoga initiative to mark the
day. The budget carrier has teamed up with Isha Foundation of Sadhguru to
conduct mid-air yoga sessions (Upa Yoga at a height of 35,000 feet) on some of
its Boeing flights today, according to a PTI report. Approximately 50 dedicated
Isha instructors and SpiceJet crew members, who have been specially trained to
perform Upa Yoga, will undertake a 10-minute session onboard select flights.
Not to miss the opportunity, on land, Ola will drive you to your yoga studio at
discounted rates, while others go crazy in their own attempts to take your breath
away.
To give credit where it is due, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said in a
statement that the day will bring attention to the need for physical exercise,
“much needed in today's world when sedentary lifestyle is becoming a leading
cause of illness.”
But the most convincing argument to allow such popular initiatives a benefit of
doubt comes from a teacher. Nalini Jayaram, teacher at the J Krishnamurthy
affiliate The Valley School, says
15
Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave what could be called the biggest push to
Yoga by proposing the idea of International Day of Yoga on September 27,
2014 at the UNGA. The first International Yoga Day was observed on June 21,
2015. Over 35,000 people were present only at Rajpath to perform Yoga asanas
and the number has only gone up in 2016. With the International Yoga Day
becoming a huge deal, more people have started following yoga more
aggressively. In fact, during the 2016 Yoga day celebrations, PM Modi even
asked his ministers to ‘make Yoga a mass movement’.
Stressed Lifestyles
With the increase in urbanisation and mushrooming of startups, stressed
lifestyles have become a given. With lesser time to hit the gyms and seeking
both physical and mental fitness, many take to Yoga as a regular regime.
16
According to a study by TimesJobs, 80 per cent of employees in India complain
of stress at work. The figure points at the huge scope for Yoga in the country.
17
Opportunities In The Yoga Sector
Rising demand for Yoga trainers
The demand for yoga instructors has been growing at 30 to 35 per cent per
annum, thereby, opening up arenas for yoga certification academies and yoga
schools. As the consumer becomes more aware, the industry is poised to
become more organized with the demand for professionally certified yoga
trainers going up.
18
grown almost 50 per cent. The demand shoots up especially in June, which is
the month of International Yoga. This points to the scope of being actively
involved in manufacturing and selling these products.
The market for Yoga is one full of opportunities and wider scope. While the
practise originates from India, we are yet to see India as the Number 1
marketfor Yoga. As more people venture into this, as more investments are
injected, and the demand for Yoga continues to grow, India may soon looking at
tapping the right potential in this sector.

Yoga 1/Beginner is an introductory class for students who are new to
Yoga. This class focuses on poses to stretch and strengthen the legs, back,
and shoulders. Emphasis is given to the basic alignment of the standing
poses.
Fundamentals of Vinyasa Yoga will prepare students for a vigorous flow
style of yoga (Vinyasa) that synchronizes breath with movement. It will
offer a balance of strength, flexibility, and endurance to challenge the
fitness enthusiast. The course will begin with instruction on the alignment
of the poses and move toward linking all the poses together in a continuous
flow by the end of the session.
Gentle Yoga is designed for those who prefer a class less vigorous than
Yoga 1. It includes gentle stretches and breathing as well as simple
movements designed to systematically increase the range of motion of every
major joint and increase energy. This class is ideal for students with chronic
symptoms such as muscle/joint pain, stiffness, weakness, or fatigue.

Currently, 50,000 professional work in Lucknow. We believe that a yoga center
can be very attractive to our customers if we create a program that fits the time
constraints of their jobs. We plan to offer our members a program that will
allow them to use their lunch hours to attend workshops.
Prakhar will be a positive draw for those who have some experience with yoga
instruction. The key to the success of AYC will be attracting new people to
yoga instruction.
Ages: 26-40.
Sex: 30% male, 70% female.
Family Income: 2,00,000-5,00,000.

and dieting. Over 70% of this group are members of gyms. Approximately,
40% of potential customers have taken yoga classes before.
Social Pattern: Will more likely attend as part of group.
Center's selling point: Close to work. The session lowers stress. Can be
attended with workmates as group activity.
22
Upper Income: The upper income customer is a secondary target group. Their
demographic characteristics are the following:
Ages: 40-60.
Sex: 30% male, 70% female.
Family Income: 5,00,000+
Health/Lifestyle Issues: Active individuals that are focused on healthy food
and dieting. Over 90% of this group are members of gyms.
Social Pattern: Will more likely attend alone.
Center's selling point: Close to work. The session lowers stress.
23
4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy
Everything AYC does must be tailored to work within the time constraints of
the target customer. Yoga classes can be no longer than 45 minutes and must
be scheduled to fit the break and rolling lunch schedules that exist in the
downtown businesses. The focus of the instruction will also have to be tailored
to a clientele that will be seeking maximum relief from the pressure of work and
then returning to the workplace. If AYC can create a noticeable difference in
the customers' sense of well-being, then the customer will come to depend on
instruction as a escape during the day. These kinds of experiences will create a
tremendous word of mouth and bring in more first time students.
24
focused on obtaining long term students. Students are attracted to a specific
type of yoga and the reputation and skills of AYC's leader.
Yoga is a growing trend. It was popular in the seventies and has come back full
force into vogue in the 21st century. Movie stars such as Anil Kapoor, Arjun
Rampal, Shilpa Shetty, Sonam Kapoor, Ranveer Singh are advocates of the
discipline.
The key to competition within the yoga business is the quality of the instructor.
There are a number of instructors around Lucknow who are well respected, and
Aarogya Yoga will strive to attract these teachers to its facility. The location,
quality and ambiance of the facility is the real competitive advantage for
Aarogya. Because it has the best most attractive facility in town teachers will
want to teach here and clients will want to "get away" here. Aarogya Yoga
Center will focus of presenting AYC as the perfect place to learn yoga skills
that will improve the student physically and reduce the daily stress of the work
25
world. Other "schools" in the area will be able to match the quality of
instruction, but are often held in community centers, fitness centers, etc. and do
not have the relaxing ambiance that is so important to the discipline.
1. Private lessons;
2. Eight week courses;
3. Drop-in sessions.
The boutique will sell clothing, books, posters, books, DVDs and videos, mats,
and other props for yoga. In addition it will sell healthy pre-bottled drinks and
healthy energy food. In the beginning all food will be pre-packaged,
26
since Prakhar does not have the facility or expertise to run a cafe facility. If the
facility becomes more of a destination, he will research adding a cafe.
The Aarogya Yoga Center anticipates that sales will be slow for the first and
second month of operation. After that point, sales will increase as membership
grows.
