Our story

Born on the Ganges, shared with the world

Pankaj Ji was born on the sacred banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh and drawn to yoga from childhood. A lifelong student with a master's degree in yoga, trained in the ashrams of Rishikesh, he founded Pankaj Yogpeeth in 2012 to share what Rishikesh gave him.

Since then the school has grown to three centres, in the Himalayan foothills, on the Kerala coast and beside the lake in Pokhara, and a family of teachers who carry the tradition forward. Every program brings together physical practice, breath, yoga philosophy and the skills of teaching.
