Kundalini & Tantra TTC
I trained with Yogi Vishnu Ji for a 200-hour self-paced traditional Kundalini & Tantra certification course. His warm and professional way of teaching aligned with how I learn best. The material is organised, and the course felt like a family. Thank you Samadhi Yoga Ashram for offering such a gift that will be passed to the world.

200-Hour Yoga TTC
I have been practising yoga for three and a half years and always wanted to learn yoga deeper. Yogi Vishnu promised the course would change my life — I didn’t expect the changes to be so rapid and huge. The level of preparation, the quantity and the quality of information was very impressive.

Online Yoga TTC
I am so grateful to have chosen this school online. It changed my perspective on learning yoga in a more traditional sense and gave me the deeper understanding I need to continue my journey. The teachers are beyond amazing and the people you meet are wonderful. I love the traditional teachings — definitely life-changing in the most positive way.

Kundalini YTT
My experience has been magical, to say the least. I had signed up for a Kundalini YTT and that Kundalini knowledge ended up being just the extra bonus. The daily lessons with Yogi Vishnu are something I feel everyone should experience in their lifetime. I cannot wait to meet my new family live in Rishikesh.

Kundalini Yoga TTC
An amazing experience with Samadhi Yoga Ashram for my Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training. They are authentic, warm-hearted and very supportive in helping students find their path — not only as a yoga teacher, but as a yogi who lives yoga as a way of life. Highly recommended.
Elizabeth · London
200-Hour Yoga TTC
Staying at the Samadhi Yoga Ashram for my 200-hour yoga teacher training was the best decision I ever made. The staff and teachers were super friendly and knowledgeable. By the end of the 18-day intensive training, we became a family. The food was delicious and plentiful every day. Would highly recommend it.

We Follow
The 5000 Years Old Yoga Tradition of The Himalayan Masters
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 Adi Shankaracharya, 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.
