The city of Kolkata has always been a center of yoga institutes ever since pre-independence days with training institutes in nearly every crevice in the city. In recent reports it has been noted that there are 300 to more than 400 training centers imparting education in yoga. Bikram Yoga is taught in the Bishnu Charan Ghosh's College of Physical Education in north Kolkata. This institute was started in 1923 and has a number of devoted pupils and a range of instructors. It is claimed that Bikram Chaudhary, who is the founder and proponent of Bikram Yoga all across the world, learned yoga at this institute and excelled in the college for many years until he branched out on his own. The Bishnu Charan Ghosh's College of Physical Education also has branches in Japan and Australia.
