A Life Dedicated
to Teaching Yoga

Praveen Kumar Pathak's yoga journey began at Saraswati Vidya Mandir where he first discovered the practice. Over the past decade, he has dedicated himself entirely to learning, practicing, and teaching yoga. With academic credentials including M.Sc in Yoga Science & Therapy and currently pursuing a Ph.D (UGC Scholar), Praveen combines deep theoretical knowledge with hands-on teaching experience.

What truly defines Praveen is his commitment to service through teaching. He has conducted yoga camps across 80+ government schools in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. He has led international retreats in Goa with students from European countries, taught at universities like Rohilkhand and Sarla Birla, and served as a yoga teacher at Gurukuls and charitable trusts.

Praveen teaches a wide range of yogic practices β€” Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Kundalini, Yin Yoga, Raja Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, along with Pranayama, Meditation, Foundation of Kundalini, Preparation of Spirituality, and Healing Practices. He conducts International Yoga Day camps every year since 2018 and is passionate about making authentic yoga accessible to everyone.

Beyond teaching, Praveen has also represented India in competitive yoga, earning medals at National Games and Khelo India University Games. But his heart lies in teaching β€” he believes that sharing yoga with others is his true calling and the highest form of service.
