The Movement for Spiritual Integration in the Absolute (M.I.S.A.) has its headquarters in Romania and is widely recognized as the largest yoga school of Europe, having thousands of students all over the world, including Europe, India and America.

Starting in 1990 the M.I.S.A. yoga school opened yoga courses in over 250 locations in Romania and in 16 other countries. The movement leadership evaluates that about 35000 students have followed so far the yoga courses conducted by M.I.S.A. The instructors conducting these classes are selected based on both theoretical and practical examinations and have a special training.

The Movement for Spiritual Integration in Absolute (M.I.S.A.) has been founded as a non profit association and it has a philosophical and educative character, aiming to increase the spiritual level of people by spreading the yoga knowledge and practices.

The spiritual mentor of MISA is the yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru. Endowed with a truthfully encyclopaedic knowledge, having a rich practical experience and genuine pedagogical talent, Gregorian Bivolaru contrived to found what we today name M.I.S.A. Yoga School, the largest yoga school in Europe.

For understanding the context of M.I.S.A. setting up and the development, we have to point out that Romania is the only country in the world where the practice of yoga has been ever forbidden.

Something like this has never happened anywhere else on earth. Yoga was illegal in Romania until December 1989, the time of Romanian “revolution”.

After revolution Gregorian Bivolaru, together with a group of yogi friends, founded M.I.S.A. The first yoga conferences and courses conducted in January 1990 had a tremendous success. Thousands of people then registered to the yoga classes in several main cities in Romania. In the following years yoga classes have been opened in more and more cities throughout Romania and abroad.

M.I.S.A. is a member of the International Yoga Federation, European Yoga Alliance, and a founder member of Atman - The International Federation For Yoga and Meditation. MISA was also the host of the First European Yoga Congress in 2006. This is an additional recognition of the exceptional quality of the yoga classes offered by this school.
