About Us

Yogakshema is a dedicated yoga institution founded by Shri Virupaksha Belavadi, envisioned as an abode for inner growth, well-being, and higher consciousness. Rooted in the timeless wisdom of Yoga, it aspires to guide individuals towards a holistic and spiritual lifestyle that nurtures the body, mind, and soul.

Located in Belavadi, a historical town once known as Ekachakra Nagara, the place carries deep cultural and mythological significance. It is believed to be where Bhima, the Pandava prince, slew the demon Bakasura, an event still remembered through the annual Bandi Utsava celebrated in the village.

Belavadi is also home to remarkable temples of great heritage – the magnificent Hoysala-era Trikutachala temple dedicated to Veeranarayana, and the sacred Udbhava Ganapathi temple, where Lord Ganesha has naturally manifested upon a stone.
