History and Founding
Pratish Yoga originated in Pune, Maharashtra, as a vision of Dr. Pratish Mulay, a medical professional and Yoga practitioner who sought to integrate Yogic practices with scientific healthcare. Mulay emphasized that Yoga should not be confined to physical exercise or spiritual attainment alone, but should extend into therapeutic and preventive medicine. Co-founder Prajakta Nitsure played a central role in shaping the organization’s educational programs and outreach initiatives. From its early beginnings as a Yoga training centre, the institution expanded into a full-fledged wellness school, incorporating Medical Yoga, corporate programs, and specialized modules such as prenatal and Garbha Sankar Yoga.
