About Us

Yoga is not a new concept in today’s world but its right practice is unknown to most people. Many understate Yoga to just Asanas, but in reality Yoga means Samadhi or State of mind through which one can reach the level of supreme soul.

Ashtanga Yoga consists of eight paths to achieving higher level of Human being. The System of Ashtanga Yoga was founded by the Great Sage Maharshi Patanjali. He took Yoga beyond religion. Yoga is an art of living and a Pure Spiritual Science.

The main Purpose of “Ashtanga Yoga Nepal” is to preserve Yoga in its pure form. We are teaching Yoga on the basis of Yoga Sutras. Without Yama and Niyama (ethical rules of Yoga), Asanas alone cannot help people reach the level of Mindfulness.

Nepal is the land of Mountains, Gods, enlightened sages and mystics. We are creating and providing the platform for aspirants to be Great Yogis, Yoginis who can teach the world Health, Happiness Love and Compassion through the path of Yoga.

Rupak Khadka (Yogi Yam) is the Founder of Ashtanga Yoga Nepal and has been a yogi for over 14 years. He has walked all over Nepal for two years bare foot, spreading the messages of Yogic teachings and yoga practice to Nepalese people. He continues to teach and practice both ancient as well as modern styles of yoga.

Our aim is simple! It is to create thousands of independent Yoga Teachers equipped with the right knowledge and practice, who can continue to spread the true teachings of Yoga, of health, happiness, selfless service, devotion, love and compassion all over the world!
