Our Story

The journey that led to the creation of Hariyall Yoga Institute is deeply personal. As the founder, I began my path in yoga after facing significant life challenges. It was not just a practice for me; it was a lifeline. I vividly remember my first class—it was the first time I felt truly at home in my body and mind. That transformative experience ignited a passion in me to share this gift with others. I envisioned a space in Richmond where community and wellness converged, a place where individuals could come to heal, grow, and connect. Every corner of our studio reflects this vision. I handpicked a team that embodies this philosophy, ensuring that every instructor and every session speaks to the heart of our mission. The community we’ve built is what drives me daily. Seeing the bright smiles and glowing faces of our practitioners as they leave the studio ignites an indescribable joy within me. I believe that yoga is not just an exercise; it’s a way of life. It’s about nurturing the soul, creating connections, and embracing the journey, wherever it may lead. That ethos is what Hariyall Yoga Institute is all about.
