Baba Ramdev is paying special emphasis on training women Yoga instructors-cum-promoter. The move is aimed at making the traditional Indian physical, mental, and spiritual practice reach every home through the involvement of women force.
The first part of the four-day Yoga workshop for Patanjali‘s women wing concluded recently and the second of the series will kick off in Haridwar from Saturday. Such specialised women Yoga camps have now become an annual feature at Ramdev Ashram now.
The first Yoga workshop attracted over 2,000 women participants from different parts of India. It was hosted from 20 to 23 March in Haridwar with women involved with Patanjali Yogpeeth in Maharashtra, Goa, Rajasthan, Orissa, Kerala, Chhattisgarh, etc taking part.

Baba Ramdev said, “We aim at making a strong and disease free India. Women, committed to popularize Yoga, can play a crucial role in this.”
According to Patanjali Yogpeeth those who attended the workshop recently and who will participate in the coming camp will go to their area and conduct a door-to-door campaign making an appeal to public to practice Yoga. The move is to connect each family with Yoga by involving the women volunteers of the Yogpeeth.
Though the Baba Ramdev Ashram conducts Yoga camps- but they are open for both men and women. The Patanjali launched this course couple of years back and now has become popular among women volunteers. The camp provides the participants a chance to learn Yoga from Baba Ramdev and his close aide Acharya Balkrishna.
Patanjali Yogpeeth’s general secretary Acharya Balkrishna said, "I will make an appeal to women to practice Yoga and motive others to do so. Conduct Yoga classes in villages, colonies and other localities.”
The Baba Ramdev Ashram is making every effort to expand Yoga at family level. The special initiative to train women Yoga instructors-cum-promoter is one such move towards this direction.
