About Us

Purna Yoga Institute

Purna means "complete", yoga means "union" and this is what we strive to achieve at Purna Yoga - a complete union of body, mind and spirit through a wide-range of yoga and meditation practices. We also emphasise that yoga offers a lot more than just physical movement and technique.
Yoga is a lifestyle, a way of living; it is a state of deep inner connection with ourselves and the world around us. To experience yoga in its complete holistic approach is to bring more harmony, peace and contentment into our lives and to transform unwanted patterns into blissful living.
Purna Yoga Institute is based in Pokhara, Nepal, founded by Manohar Shrestha, is run by dedicated Purna yoga team, and it is an international recognized organization by Yoga Alliance dedicated to spread the ancient knowledge of yoga through various programs and yoga trainings.

Our Mission

Our mission first and foremost is to share the knowledge of yoga and meditation with as many people as possible. We strongly believe, backed by personal experience, that when we practice and understand yoga, our lives improve as we learn to access that deep inner peace and harmony which seems so elusive, but which is present in all of us.
Through regular practice of yoga and meditation in daily life, we can make contact with our inner wisdom which allows us to deal with whatever problems come our way in a positive and constructive manner. Life begins to flow, we are able to let go of rigid structures, unwanted patterns and get in rhythm with the natural flow of blissful living.
Our vision is to provide an inspiring and beautiful environment for the nourishment of body, mind and soul and a comfortable, safe and nurturing setting for all who wish to experience the benefits of a regular yoga practice and empower others combined with a healthy lifestyle.
