Upendra Ji

Born and raised in a traditional Brahmin family in the holy city of Rishikesh, Yogi Upendra Ji was introduced to yoga and ancient scriptures in his early childhood by his father, a Sanskrit scholar. He decided to pursue his studies further, traveling to the Bihar School of Yoga in Munger to complete a certificate course before studying Vedanta at the Yoga Vedanta Forest academy at Sivananda Ashram Rishikesh.

Here, he surrendered himself to perfecting his teaching and yogic discipline under the guidance of his Guru Swami Vishwa Rupananda Saraswati. His Pranayama and Yog Nidra classes not only helps students gaining the in-depth knowledge of different Shat Kriyas (Yogic Cleansing) but also Pranayama techniques. His Yog Nidra classes help students to connect with their inner-self and start their self-journey into the spiritual world.
