Founded in 1985 by our teacher Yoga Master Sharat Arora, the Himalayan Iyengar Yoga Centre was the first Yoga School in both North Goa and Himachal Pradesh. Since that time Sharat Arora has taught and helped over 40.000 students.

His dedicated 7 years with Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar led Sharat Arora to explore and develop his own yoga practice in line with Guruji’s teachings of alignment & healing. The Yoga he teaches is therefore an EVOLUTION of the Traditional Iyengar Yoga.

Master Sharat Arora’s relentless exploration led him to discover the importance of the foundations in Yoga Practice. From there the Yoga Asanas grow and alignment is found. The revelation about footwork and handwork is integral and specific to Master Sharat Arora’s style of teaching.

Gopali about Sharat:

"I came to Sharat 2019 and practiced with him for 6 weeks in total. This practice did not only change my view on yoga but also my whole life and the way I am teaching yoga myself. I am much more confident and clear about what I am doing. I got a deep understanding on alignment, the student's needs and how to support them with a variety of probs. I am very happy to welcome Sharat in cologne!"
