Nepal Yoga Academy (NYA) was founded in 2009 in the Kathmandu Valley and stands today as a pioneer yoga school in Nepal. NYA was founded by Dr. Chintamani Gautam, whose mission was to provide yoga trainings, certification programs, and retreats. NYA was the first school in Nepal to offer globally accredited 200-, 300- and 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training. NYA further specialized in Yoga and Meditation retreats, Yoga Philosophy and Spirituality and Corporate Yoga to inspire a wider audience.

Our yoga institute is situated in the Himalayan foothills, dotted with traditional villages amidst the lush natural landscape. Its calming atmosphere and scenic views have made it a haven for thousands of practitioners who come from all parts of the world to experience yoga in its authentic homeland. The Academy’s location further provides a clean and sacred atmosphere surrounded by beautiful gardens exuding prana, life force energy. The facilities perfectly blend modern amenities with spiritual simplicity.

NYA prides itself on teaching the Sanatan style of Yoga in its most authentic form paired with scientific research on yogic living. Presently, our academy is the foremost destination in the Himalayas for those who wish to learn hatha yoga in its classical form.

Under the careful guidance of Guruji, our teachings provide a step-by-step process for personal practice that helps one develop a happier, healthier, and more productive life. Classes equip students with increased strength, flexibility, and confidence. Our students often develop many insights into their life path and develop a deeper connection with their higher consciousness. It is our goal to not only be a global resource for yoga education but to raise the positive vibration of the world—one practitioner at a time.
