Yogi Ram Founder Himalayan Yoga Association

The Yogic Journey of Yogi Ram

Yogi Ram is the founder and spiritual anchor of Himalayan Yoga Association, established in Rishikesh, the Yoga Capital of the World.

Born and raised in Rishikesh in a traditional Hindu Brahmin family, Yogi Ram gained profound knowledge of ancient Indian traditions as a natural part of his upbringing. Fortunate to grow up along the holy banks of the Ganges and in the auspicious company of Himalayan saints and yogis, he developed a deep spiritual urge from an early age to understand the inner mysteries of life, consciousness, and nature.

The pivotal turning point in his life occurred in his early twenties. While successfully building a music business, Yogi Ram recognized that material pursuits did not provide true inner peace, purpose, or fulfillment. Listening to his inner calling, he returned wholeheartedly to his traditional yogic roots and undertook an intensive period of classical yoga Sadhana, deep meditation, and self-study under Himalayan masters.

To offer this authentic lineage to global seekers in its purest, unadulterated form, Yogi Ram founded Himalayan Yoga Association, combining traditional Himalayan meditation and philosophy with rigorous Yoga Alliance accredited teacher training.
