Anahat Yoga Ashram
Where yoga becomes a way of life.
Yoga Retreat | TTC | Yogic Living | Swara Yoga
There is no price to truth. And no boundary to love. I am offering yoga which comes from the overflowing of a journey, a life walked barefoot, soaked in silence, wonder, and surrender.
If your heart feels called, I welcome you into these spaces, not as a student, but as a fellow traveler.
Offerings from the Heart
Every step I take, every breath I draw, is a part of the path I walk and sometimes, this path opens wide enough to invite others in.
What I share is not “classes” or “programs” in the usual sense.
They are living experiences where the teachings of yoga are not only read or spoken, but felt in the pulse of life itself.
If you feel called, here is how we can walk together

YOGA RETREAT
(Currently offered at: Anahat Yoga Ashram, Nagarkot, Nepal)
Gentle spaces where mountains, rivers, and the sky become our teachers. Retreats are not escapes… they are homecomings. We practice asanas, pranayama, and 'meditation and planet based special Kriyas followed by Flow of the Breath' not ónly as physical exercises, but as doorways into silence, gratitude, and awareness in Traditional Ashrama Style.

Anahat Yoga Ashram is among the few yoga ashrams and the first Ashram in Nepal & India offering the sacred wisdom of Swara Yoga, insights of Astro Yoga, and the ancient science of Ayurveda as part of the Yoga Teacher Training journey — from basic to advanced levels, depending on the respective TTC program.
This Yoga Teacher Training is a humble sharing born from years of traveling through India’s spiritual paths, living in ashrams, learning from gurus, and experiencing yoga as a living reality beyond physical postures.
At Anahat Yoga Ashram, we gently encourage students to look beyond certificates and rediscover yoga as a way of living, breathing, and being. Our vision is deeply inspired and blessed by the wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda’s Kriya Yoga tradition, nurturing inner awareness, devotion, and self-realization.
At Anahat Yoga Ashram, We never wish for a sincere seeker to turn away from yoga due to temporary financial difficulties, and whenever possible, we remain open to finding flexible ways with genuine hearts who truly wish to learn and grow.

💛 Becoming a teacher is both a blessing and a responsibility. A yoga teacher is not only a guide but also a healer - first of the self, and then of others. These are the seeds that grow into trees, offering shade and direction to those searching for the way back to the heart and to life’s natural rhythm.
Online Yoga
with me
These online sessions allow me to continue sharing yoga while keeping my spirit of travel alive. Whether I am by the ocean, in the mountains, or in a quiet village somewhere in the world, we can still meet, practice, and grow together.
Swara Yoga
Swara Vignan - The Spiritual Science of Breath
is an ancient yogic science revealed as a sacred conversation between Shiva and Parvati. When Parvati asked how human beings could live in harmony with nature and destiny, Shiva explained the mystery of the breath and its subtle flow through the nostrils. He revealed that each swara influences our actions, decisions, relationships, thoughts, and their consequences. Hidden within every breath is a wisdom that can guide us toward the right action at the right time, making Swara Vijnana one of yoga’s most fascinating and lesser-known treasures. 🌿✨
What is Astro Yoga
Have you ever wondered why certain phases of life feel full of energy, clarity, and flow, while others bring challenges, emotional turbulence, or a sense of imbalance?
Astro Yoga is an ancient union of Yoga and Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) that explores the subtle connection between the planets, chakras, and the five elements (doshas) within the body. In Astro Yoga, we work with each chakra, balance the five elements, and practice specific Planetary Vinyasas—yoga flows designed for individual planetary energies—along with traditional pranayama, mudras, mantras, and kriyas.
These practices help harmonize the planetary influences reflected within us, creating greater physical vitality, emotional balance, mental clarity, and spiritual awareness. Rooted in timeless yogic wisdom, Astro Yoga invites us to discover the universe within and live in harmony with the cosmos around us. ✨🌿 Read more to explore this fascinating journey.

Embrace the Ancient Flow
Hatha Yoga—where Ha symbolizes the radiant sun and Tha the soothing moon—is the sacred dance of balance within us all. This ancient practice gently weaves together these divine energies, harmonizing strength with softness, activity with stillness, and the masculine with the feminine.
The heart of Hatha Yoga is union—bringing body, breath, and mind into beautiful harmony. Through mindful asanas, pranayama, mudra, and mantra, it prepares you to awaken your deeper consciousness, cleansing and balancing your entire being.
Join us on this soulful sādhanā, a tender invitation to unite your inner sun and moon, and allow your natural harmony and light to shine forth with grace and serenity.
Traditional Hatha Yoga Daily Sessions
At Anahat Yoga Ashram, we honor the traditional way where energy exchange is from heart to heart. The suggested contribution that supports the ashram space, food, and guidance, but we never wish for anyone to be deprived of yoga because of financial difficulty.
.We believe yoga is for all, not only for those with money.
While Anahat Yoga Ashram is presently rooted in the peaceful hills of Nagarkot, Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, we do not see yoga as something confined to a single location. The spirit of AYA travels wherever sincere seekers gather.
Depending on the needs and wishes of participants, we also offer retreats and teacher training experiences in the Himalayan regions of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, as well as by the tranquil shores of Kerala in South India. At times, we are also happy to create personalized retreats in spaces chosen by the seekers themselves.

A Home for the SoulPerched in the serene hills of Kathmandu Valley — in the quiet embrace of Village — rests Anahat Yoga Ashram, a sanctuary (आश्रम – āśrama, a place of spiritual discipline) for hearts longing for peace, truth, and simplicity.Here, the air hums softly with the sound of the mountain breeze, carrying the gentle murmur of prayer flags fluttering against the Himalayan sky.
The space is bathed in an invisible river of prāṇa (life force), rich in the healing charge of negative ions, as if the hills themselves are breathing with you. Your stay here is simple, traditional, and heart-centered — much like the ancient Gurukula way of living.
We offer both single and double rooms, lovingly prepared for comfort yet free from unnecessary distraction. Days begin with the fragrance of organic herbs from our own garden and meals are cooked with śuddha bhāva (pure intention), using vegetables and grains cultivated in harmony with the land.
Winding trails lead from the Ashram into the surrounding hills, inviting manasika vihāra (mindful wandering) through forests, streams, and sunlit clearings — each step a meditation, each view a verse from nature’s scripture.
This is not just a place to learn yoga - it is a place to live yoga. To rise with the sun (sūryodaya), to rest with the moon (candra), to let the silence between breaths become your greatest teacher.
Anahat Yoga Ashram is more than a retreat center…It is a space where hearts meet without judgment, where every breath feels like a homecoming, and where the mountains quietly watch over your journey.
While Anahat Yoga Ashram is rooted in the peaceful hills of Nagarkot, Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, our offerings are not limited to one location. We also host selected Yoga Retreats and Teacher Training Courses amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas in North India, including Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, as well as in the lush, tropical beauty of Kerala in South India.
Come as you are. Leave as the wind — free, light, and limitless."

🌍 A Note on Location Availability_
As a traveler, I have no single address. My home is where the wind carries me, and my offerings unfold wherever hearts are ready to receive them.
If your heart feels called, a private yoga retreat can be woven around your preferred location — be it by the ocean, in the mountains, or even in your backyard under the open sky.
For genuine seekers, my ways are always open. All that matters is the sincerity of your step.
