Our Center opened in 1971 when Nina Johnson started teaching classes in a church on Milwaukee's East side. This year we celebrate our 50th Anniversary as Milwaukee's oldest yoga meditation center. Over these many decades we have continued to teach the lessons of Swami Rama and the Himalayan Masters, and the lessons learned through our many years of practice and service.
To honor our 50th Anniversary we ask for your support. We ask that you support our Center by attending our classes and seminars and that you make a donation to help maintain the Center and keep our doors open. Many of you practice but have not had an active role either as student or teacher in the Center.

The Himalayan Mountains have been the home of sages for millennia. These great sages lived and passed on knowledge of the yogic teachings to disciples who then became masters passing on the teachings in an unbroken lineage since the Vedic period. Twelve hundred years ago Shankaracharya organized his teaching into five centers of the Himalayan Tradition.
HYM hosts off-site retreats and on-site lectures and workshops on yoga, meditation, yoga philosophy and Ayurveda/wellness with local experts and visiting yogis and scholars from around the world. We offer a range of classes in hatha yoga, meditation, wellness and yoga philosophy for students of all levels of study, providing students from all walks of life with the resources to maintain a healthy mind and body and a joyful and productive life.
