ELISABETH HAICH (March 20, 1897 July 1, 1994) was born in Budapest, Hungary. Even as a young child, her unique gifts were expressed as a pianist, painter and sculptress. Her sculptures are exhibited in Hungary, as monuments and in plazas. She was married and had one son who later joined her in teaching Yoga in Switzerland. In close connection with Selvarajan Yesudian, she began giving Yoga lectures in 1939. At the end of World War II she was forced to leave Hungary. With Selvarajan Yesudian, she resettled in Switzerland where she lived until the end of her life. In cooperation with Yesudian, she founded the oldest and largest Yoga school in Europe. In 1953 Elisabeth Haich wrote her best known book, Initiation which has been translated into seventeen languages with millions of copies sold worldwide.
