Who We Are

Rooted in Tradition, Transforming Lives Through Yoga

Guiding your transformation with tradition and care — a place where yoga becomes your way of life.

Our Story

A Legacy of Yoga Excellence

Founded more than fifteen years ago and inspired by the ancient teachings of the Himalayan yogis, Hariom Yoga Vidya School was born from a simple vision: to create a space where seekers could come to heal, grow and discover their true selves.

What began as a small gathering in Tapovan, Rishikesh has grown into a global community of over 3,000 students. To us, yoga is not just a practice but a way of living — a union of mental, physical and spiritual transformation that you carry with you long after you leave the mat.
