Learn more about our journey, values, and the passionate team behind our yoga studio.

Originally founded as the Nepali Yoga Center in 2000 in Lakeside, Pokhara, we are now known as Himalayan Yogini. Our roots in the community run deep, having served as a sanctuary for yoga, meditation, and healing for over two decades.
Founded by Devika Gurung, who began her journey inspired by international teachers and solidified her path with diplomas in Kathmandu, the center was established to offer authentic Hatha yoga and Ayurvedic practices.
Through major life challenges, including the survival of severe illness and the 2015 earthquake relief efforts led with Shyam Gurung, our mission has evolved. We now focus on deep self-healing, incorporating Kundalini Shakti, Shamanic healing, and traditional wisdom to help every student find their balance.
Our founders and lead instructors bring decades of experience and a deep commitment to traditional and holistic practices.
