Yogi Prakash, founder of Shanti Yoga Ashram, author of Tantra Yoga (The Classical Yoga); is the Guru and main teacher of the ashram. His magnanimous and humble nature combined with his great capacity to teach allows him to transmit the spiritual essence of Tantra Yoga to his students with joy and love. He inspires them by embodying yoga in his own way of life. Even before the establishment of Shanti Yoga Ashram in 2001, spiritual seekers found their way to Guruji’s front door to receive his teachings, which he generously shares with much devotion. His mission is to uplift humanity through spiritual education.
He was born in the family of the enlightened yoga master Yogi Hari Dhungana and grew up surrounded by yogic culture. For the past 10 year he has continued to deepen his knowledge in Nepal with a highly evolved Tantra yoga master, Swami Shivalingham Saraswati. For the past 20 years he has been fully dedicated to teaching yoga both at home and abroad; circling the globe teaching the deeper aspects of yoga.

What is Tantra Yoga ?
Tantra Yoga has the capacity to bring about the ultimate freedom inside oneself,
liberating the soul from the bondage of conditional life, taking one to the realm beyond
likes and dislikes, beyond duality itself, and into a state of equanimity and lasting bliss.
In order to reach this elevated state, discipline, humility and simplicity are required.
Reaching the goal of spiritual life is like trying to pass a camel through the eye of a
needle. Not an easy task. It requires divine grace because with one's own effort, no
matter how sincere, it will not be enough. It is vital to have the blessings and guidance
of Guru and God/ Goddess. With that support miracles can happen.
Tantra yoga starts with the gross level-body and gradually transitions to the subtle-level consciousness. This teaching system offers the evolutionary process from Hatha yoga, meditation through the body, to Astanga yoga, meditation through the mind, to Mantra yoga, meditation through sound, to Kundalini yoga, meditation through the chakras, and ultimately to Shiva-Shakti yoga, meditation through the internal masculine and feminine energies.
“Tantra is the way to the generate energy that is dormant inside of you, to circulate it and use it for your physical health, mental health, emotional health and finally for your spiritual health“
