Our Beginnings

Founded in 2013 in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh 176219, I started teaching my first drop-in classes in Dharamshala. After a while, I realized that I wanted to share more of my experience and knowledge. Yoga isn’t only about asanas; it’s more about self-discovery and understanding how to change without suffering. I found that drop-in classes didn’t provide enough time to go deeper, so I created my own style and established a yoga school in India and our school has graduated hundreds of certified yoga teachers.

Our Unique Approach

At Shree Hari Yoga Family, we’re all about offering comprehensive teacher training that goes way beyond just yoga poses. Quality is our priority, so we keep our class sizes small, with a maximum of 15 students per batch. This way, everyone gets the personalized attention they need for their unique journey.

Here, you’ll go through a life-changing experience. We blend in some important ingredients like courage, embracing your inner crazy, self-love, acceptance, trust, questioning things, dealing with doubts, riding the emotional rollercoaster, finding moments of relaxation, diving into spirituality and philosophy, and reaping the endless benefits that yoga brings. Our goal is to empower you to fully integrate yoga into your practice, teaching, and everyday life.

Our Mission and Vision

We strive to live and share the knowledge, wisdom, and experience of yoga with compassion, authenticity, kindness, and joy. Our school provides safe and inclusive environments where students can embrace yoga as a holistic way of life, building flexibility, strength, peace, joy, self-awareness, and self-acceptance.

Additionally, we aim to unblock physical freedom and equip you with a comprehensive set of tools. We foster a supportive yoga community, empowering you to leave your unique mark on your yoga journey. After completing your course, you’ll have opportunities to teach at our school and gain insight into the business aspects of yoga.

We believe that our thoughts and values drive our actions, shaping the quality of our world. Embracing the lifestyle of yoga and sharing this knowledge is the best karmic activity we can undertake. We welcome anyone who wishes to follow this path as family and look forward to supporting your journey of transformation.

A Message from Our Founder

I am Hari Pawali, founder of Shree Hari Yoga School. My goal was to provide affordable, highquality training in yoga and the healing arts, creating an inclusive community where all are welcomed. Raised in a family of devotees and followers of Lord Shiva, my journey in yoga began with my mother, Tara Devi, a Bhakti Guru. My early training in the Nath Tradition and years as an ascetic sadhu shaped my path. After deepening my practice at an ashram, I realized my vision of a yoga school and community in 2013 in Gokarna. Since then, we have graduated hundreds of students and expanded across India.
