Yoga Journey & Background

Yogi Kalpendra Chauhan

Philosophy, Pranayama & Meditation

Kalpendra Chauhan Ji has walked the path of Yoga and spirituality since the early age of 19. Born and raised in Rishikesh in a traditional North Indian spiritual family, his expertise lies in the science behind yoga, breathing, meditation, and relaxation — helping people find balance between mind, body, and soul. He earned a Master's degree in Yoga Science from Uttarakhand Sanskrit University, Haridwar in 2008, and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Yoga and Holistic Health from HNB Garhwal University in 2005. He is a certified yoga teacher (ERYT 500, Yoga Alliance USA) and has been teaching Yoga Philosophy, Pranayama, Yoga Nidra, and Meditation for over 16 years. His simplicity and depth flow directly into his teaching philosophy.
