“Yoga is not just about feeling better — it is about awakening. We are here to transcend.”
Anand Mehrotra: Himalayan Yoga Master
Anand Mehrotra is a visionary Himalayan yogi, master teacher, and global thought leader whose work represents ancient yogic wisdom with the needs of the modern world.
As the founder of the Sattva Yoga movement and Sattva Yoga Academy, Anand has touched thousands of lives worldwide, offering a path of wholeness, conscious evolution, and radical inner freedom.
His teachings — rooted in the Himalayan Yog-Vedantic tradition — embody a rare integration of depth, practicality, and transformative power.
More than a teacher, Anand is a spiritual innovator, conscious entrepreneur, and humanitarian.
He lives his teachings fully, inviting seekers into a multidimensional, integrated experience of yoga that awakens the heart, mind, and spirit.
Early Life and Spiritual Formation
Born and raised in Rishikesh, India — widely regarded as the birthplace of yoga — Anand was immersed in a sacred environment of yogic study and sadhana from a very young age.
Trained in the oral tradition under the guidance of his revered master, Maharaji, Anand was initiated into the timeless lineage of Himalayan sages.
From childhood, he demonstrated a rare intensity and clarity of purpose, with a profound thirst to understand the nature of reality.
His upbringing in the Himalayas provided not only exposure to the depth of the Vedantic teachings, but also a firsthand experience of yoga as a living, embodied state of consciousness. Anand’s spiritual education was not confined to scriptures — it was embedded in the very fabric of his daily life, guided by lineage, discipline, and deep surrender.
Sattva Yoga: The Path of Wholeness
In 2012, Anand Mehrotra developed and formally introduced Sattva Yoga—a complete, integrated approach to yoga designed for modern living, rooted in the timeless wisdom of the Himalayas.
Derived from the Sanskrit word Sattva, meaning wholeness, truth, or purity, this path invites practitioners into full-spectrum living—where personal evolution, presence, and deep inner freedom become a lived reality.
Unlike fragmented styles that isolate posture or breath, Sattva Yoga weaves together the entire spectrum of yogic technology, including:
Tantric Kriyas, Kundalini awakening techniques, Pranayama and breathwork, Hatha and vinyasa flow, Naad (mantra and sound) practices, Stillness and meditation, Jnana (wisdom teachings), Bhakti (devotional expression)
This integrative practice creates real transformation—impacting every layer of our being: physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual.
It is both dynamic and meditative, ancient and evolutionary, expanding while staying rooted in the source.
“Sattva Yoga is not a style. It is a technology for radical transformation.” — Anand Mehrotra.

Living the Path of Yoga
Living the Teachings: Yoga as a Way of Being
For Anand, yoga is not a practice you do — it is who you are.
It is a way of walking through the world with presence, integrity, and inner freedom.
He often emphasizes that yoga is not something separate from daily life, but rather, the art of conscious living itself.
Sattva Yoga embodies this philosophy.
It is a lifestyle that weaves together dynamic action and inner stillness, spiritual inquiry and everyday leadership.
It invites practitioners to live their dharma, serve their communities, and participate in the collective evolution of consciousness.
Journey, Pilgrimage and Inner Freedom
Anand’s work extends beyond the classroom and into the wilderness.
His motorcycle pilgrimages through the Himalayas are sacred rites of passage, spiritual intensives that blend adventure, service, and inner transformation.
These journeys, featured in the acclaimed documentary
The Highest Pass and its sequel The Road to Dharma, have introduced thousands to the power of facing fear, surrendering to the unknown, and awakening in motion.
“The ultimate pilgrimage is always inward.”
Conscious Entrepreneurship and Service
In addition to his work as a spiritual master, Anand is a visionary social entrepreneur. He has launched numerous projects that embody his values of sustainability, service, and sacred commerce.
