Some teachers discover yoga early, while others arrive at it later in life. Harindra Ji found yoga when he needed it most. At the time, he was working in senior corporate roles with respected finance companies such as Bank of America, American Express, and Genpact. He was successful, ambitious, and steadily advancing in his career, yet the pressure of constant meetings and endless monthly targets began to drain him. Feeling disconnected, he started asking himself whether this was truly the life he wanted. That question led him to make a bold choice: he left everything behind and travelled to Rishikesh to study and practice yoga in the land of yogis and sages.
There, he continued learning from teacher to teacher. Each guru offered a new perspective, introducing him to hatha, ashtanga, and yogic philosophy, while others opened the path to meditation, pranayama, and alignment in asana. Today, Harindra Ji shares the wisdom passed on by his gurus in the yoga shala. A certified Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500 instructor, he has been teaching continuously for more than 12 years in Rishikesh.
His classes are shaped by multiple traditions and the guidance of different masters. He understands what it feels like to be caught in a life that looks complete from the outside, yet feels empty within. Many students come to Abhyantara carrying mental baggage and a sense of disconnection, and he meets them exactly where they are. Not with a notebook, but with his own lived experience.
Learning from Harindra Ji is not only about mastering elegant asanas or sitting with closed eyes. It is about understanding how life changes when you stop trying to impress the world and begin living honestly as yourself.
