University of La Laguna

Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute has formed a significant collaboration with the University of La Laguna in Spain.

Its origins date to the year 1701 when a center for advanced studies was established by the Augustinians in the town of La Laguna.

In 1792, by royal decree, Charles IV of Spain ordered the establishment in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, then the capital of Tenerife and Canary Islands, of the first Universidad Literaria of the Canaries, but the political situation on the mainland prevented its establishment.

Although born in the IES Canarias Cabrera Pinto of the city, it has a great following among the students of the University of La Laguna, as well as in the other educational centers of the Canary archipelago.

Nowadays this tradition is celebrated at schools, universities and secondary institutes all around the Canary Islands.
