Himalayan Yoga Association

What Himalayan Yoga Association does

Himalayan Yoga Association is a private yoga education provider founded in 2018 by Yogi Himanshu Joshi and headquartered in Rishikesh, India. The company delivers Yoga Alliance-certified multi-style and Yin yoga teacher training programs (50 to 500 hours) alongside yoga retreats (3-11 days), Sound Healing and Reiki Healing certification courses, Ayurvedic massage and Panchakarma therapy courses, and specialty offerings (prenatal, aerial, Vedic astrology, numerology). It operates four physical campuses — Rishikesh and three Bali locations (Ubud, Uluwatu, Canggu) — supported by an online delivery platform (himalayanonlineyogacourses.com) and an on-campus ancillary ecosystem of cafes, a spa, an organic store, and a digital-nomad co-working space.

The business model is primarily direct-to-consumer residential training: students travel to a campus, pay a $200 booking deposit, and enroll in fixed-duration courses priced between $400 and $4,500 depending on hours, accommodation type, and inclusions (meals and stay). GTM is website-led with WhatsApp/LINE/phone support, multi-language pages (Japanese, Korean, French, Chinese, Spanish), organic social presence across Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, and Google reviews for social proof. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and is registered as a society under Indian law; accreditations include Yoga Alliance USA, UK, and International, and IYO (recognized in 195 countries).

The student base spans 50+ countries, with deliberate batch-size caps of 20-30 to preserve instructional quality. The organization remains founder/family-owned and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external capital, and operates a wholly-owned subsidiary stack (Bali Yoga School, Himalayan Yoga Cafe, Himalayan Yoga Spa, Himalayan Organic Store, Kohi Cafe, Himalayan Online Yoga Courses) that captures both core tuition and ancillary on-campus spend.
