To live and share our knowledge and experience of yoga through compassion, authenticity, kindness, and joy. To create a safe and inclusive environment where students can experience yoga as a holistic way of life. To help our students build flexibility, strength, peace, and self-acceptance in their bodies, minds, and hearts.
Our school was founded by Hari Pawali with the goal of providing affordable high-quality training in yoga and the healing arts with students of all paths and levels. He set forth to create an inclusive community of students and teachers where all feel welcomed where he could share the knowledge and experience that he has accumulated along his own path of yoga.
Shree Hari Ji was born into a family of devotees and was raised from childhood to be a yogi and follower of Lord Shiva. His mother Tara Devi, a Bhakti Guru, became his first guide in spiritual life. His early additional exposure to yoga was primarily within the Nath Tradition and after leaving home he lived for some years as an ascetic sadhu following his Nath Guru and fellow disciples on the path of spiritual discipline. He eventually re-entered worldly life with the seed of motivation to share yoga with the wider world. In support of that dream, he entered an ashram where he resided for several years delving deeper into the art of teaching yoga and community building.
In 2013 his vision of creating a yoga school and community was realized in the beautiful beachside town of Gokarna. Since then, his school has graduated hundreds of students and expanded to offer courses at multiple locations in both north and south India.
