Three new Shiv Yoga Kendra centres are set to open this month in the G-South ward of Mumbai, specifically in Prabhadevi, Mahalaxmi, and Worli Koliwada. The ward currently has four such centres already in operation. This expansion of the BMC's Free Yoga Initiative, which was first launched in 2022, is indicative of the initiative's growing popularity in the area.
The health initiative aims to provide free yoga sessions to the residents, with the respective assistant municipal commissioner overseeing the operations in each of the 227 electoral wards. As of June 2026, Mumbai had a total of 111 Shiv Yoga centres, with approximately 140 batches running, benefiting more than 48,000 participants.
The centres offer free yoga sessions and issue certificates to those who complete 50 sessions within three months. Dr. Daksha Shah, the executive health officer of BMC, highlighted the positive response, particularly in densely populated areas like slums where the centres cater to women who prioritize self-care and health. The BMC has received approval to run the Yoga centres until 2027, after which they will require revised approval from the municipal commissioner.
