Yogant Foundation Rishikesh, India
Yogant Foundation was founded in 2010 by Late Swami Balyogi Premvarni with an intent to teach the traditional meditation and yoga practices which help one to explore the realm of spirituality.
Balyogi Premvarni started spiritual seeking in his early childhood days. He had adventurously climbed the Himalayas in search of God, when he was only 10 years old. Swamiji got enlightened and started teaching yoga at a very young age and hence got his name Balyogi.
Swami Balyogi established the Yogant Foundation ashram in 1960 after undergoing extensive training both in Hatha yoga and intricate Meditation practices from the Himalayan Masters. After a long journey of sharing his knowledge to the seekers and his loving disciples all over the world, Swami Balyogi Premvarni took samadhi in 2023 at this ashram situated in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India.
At present, Yogant Foundation ashram is managed by Swamiji’s daughter, Divya Varni. Divya was born and brought up in the ashram under Swamiji’s spiritual guidance. Later, she completed her Master’s degree in Yoga from the Uttarakhand Sanskrit University. Divya Varni, not to mention, is a profound spiritual seeker and trainer, who has taken up Swamiji’s linkage and interest to spread their deep-rooted knowledge in Yoga and spirituality. They offer Spiritual Retreats in the ashram, aiming spiritual enlightenment to the seekers.
The Yogant Foundation ashram is nestled in the jungle area between the Ram Jhula and the Lakshman Jhula in Rishikesh.
