Biography edit
Eva Ruchpaul was born in Béziers in the south of France in 1928. At the age of 18 months, she contracted poliomyelitis and sought at a young age to re-educate her ailing body. In hatha-yoga she found a revitalising source of energy. Eva studied the theory of yoga with her father, a professor of philosophy. She continued her studies with her husband, a Brahman.[1][2] Since 1969 she has appeared in numerous TV shows and press articles in France.[3] In 1970, she created a yoga class, encouraged by her husband. This course is one of the first in Europe.[1]
Institut Eva Ruchpaul edit
The Eva Ruchpaul Institute of Yoga was founded by Ruchpaul in 1971 to train yoga teachers. It is officially registered with the Paris Academic Academy and has trained more than a thousand teachers and many amateurs at all levels of ability.[1][4]
