Our Teacher

Namaste, I'm Ankur Atri, born and raised near the sacred city of Kurukshetra – the place where Krishna and Arjuna had a profound discourse on duty, righteousness, and spirituality described in the famous “Bhagavad Gita”. My journey in Yoga began alongside my brother, Sandeep. From a young age, we were both guided by our parents and grandparents. Their teachings of devotion, love, and spiritual dedication formed the foundation of our lives. Our childhood was a rich blend of learning diverse paths of Yoga and this comprehensive understanding of Yoga was a shared journey between Sandeep and me, fostering a deep bond and mutual inspiration. Following in Sandeep's footsteps, I ventured into the world of hospitality after completing school. Our shared passion for understanding different cultures and lifestyles led us into the hotel management business. However, like Sandeep, I soon realized that my true calling lay in the spiritual path our family had practiced for generations. Inspired by Sandeep's return to Yoga, I too decided to reconnect with our spiritual heritage. Together, we pursued advanced studies in Yoga, culminating in the establishment of our first Yoga school in Rishikesh, India. This venture was a manifestation of our shared vision to spread the transformative power of Yoga. My mission is to guide individuals on their journey to uncover the healing and transformative power within themselves. Fascinated by the profound wisdom of Yoga philosophy, I love to share its timeless teachings and practical applications. Through our school, we aim to provide a sanctuary for all who seek balance, harmony, and spiritual growth, offering a deeper understanding of the philosophical pillars of Yoga to appreciate the traditions that are part of our culture for thousands of years.
