Born in a Brahmin family in western Odisha, Yogi Vishnu grew up around his grandfather’s Radha-Krishna temple, serving sadhus and listening to their stories of practice and renunciation. He travels widely to teach Yoga, Meditation and Philosophy, and remains deeply dedicated to guiding seekers into self-awakening.
Born in the UK to an Indian family, Maa Haripriya returned to India and immersed herself in the study of yoga, later qualifying as a Kundalini Yoga teacher. She brings Sound Healing, Cacao Rituals and Reiki into her Kundalini practice, with a vision of sharing the wisdom that changed her life.
Born in Rishikesh and fascinated by yoga from a young age, Yogi Praveen specialises in Meditation, Philosophy, Relaxation, Swara Yoga and Pranayama. His simple, approachable techniques make complex teachings accessible even to beginners.
Born and raised in Rishikesh, Ashutosh holds a Bachelor’s in Yogic Science from the University of Patanjali and a Master’s in Yoga Therapy from Uttarakhand Sanskrit University. His teaching blends intelligent sequencing with precise alignment, tailored to each student’s body and condition.

FAQs: 500 Hour Online Yoga TTC

Surprisingly well, after a year of online teaching to 1,500+ students worldwide we have seen that the online format genuinely works for serious practice.

A computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone with a stable internet connection is enough. Headphones help for the chanting and pranayama modules, and a little floor space for your mat is all the setup you need.

We Follow
Samadhi Yoga Ashram follows the teachings of generations of Himalayan masters and saints who lived in the cave hermitages of the Himalayas. The teaching lineage stretches back nearly 5,000 years and includes Agastya Muni, Patanjali, Siddha Bhogar, Mahavatar Babaji, Bengali Baba, Swami Rama of the Himalayas, and his student Swami Veda Bharati. This tradition was practiced for centuries without a single name. We refer to it simply as the Tradition of the Himalayan Masters.
Yogi Vishnu Panigrahi, the founder of Samadhi Yoga Ashram, is a student of Swami Veda Bharati. Who was, in turn, a student of Swami Rama. Through this unbroken teacher-student chain, the practical methods of pranayama, meditation, kriya and yoga philosophy have been transmitted from one generation to the next without being diluted by trend.
Although yoga has roots in Hindu culture, it is not a religion. The Himalayan path is open to anyone, regardless of religion, language or nationality. What it asks of you is sincerity, regularity, and willingness to learn from a teacher. The classical teacher-student relationship is still the foundation of how we work.
The ashram teaches the full eight-limbed path of yoga: including Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Kundalini Yoga and Tantra Yoga. A central instruction of the Himalayan tradition is "to be free of fear, become aware of the reality within." The work is practical, daily, and grounded, not abstract, not religious, not performative.
