Teacher/Teachings

Yogi Vimal

Born and raised in Rishikesh, Vimal’s journey as a yogi began years ago with his studies at the Bihar School of Yoga - founded by Swami Satyananda Saraswati - and continued at the Sivananda Vedanda Academy in Rishikesh. Following his Guruji’s advice and as part of his sadhana (spiritual practice) Vimal lived alone for a year in a cave on the banks of the Ganga. Just a cloth to cover him, he bathed in and drank the sacred water from the river, eating only a potato brought to him every day. This unique life’s transforming experience has permitted him to deeply understand the real meaning of living a yogic lifestyle. For the past ten years Vimal has been teaching yoga and meditation in India and other parts of Asia to improve one’s physical health as well as one’s spiritual life. He now shares his experience through daily classes, workshops, and retreats in Rishikesh and abroad. His energetic yet approachable teachings reflect a genuine understanding of the classical path of yoga with a modern outlook. His authentic classes are spiritually charged with life changing teachings; these can be incorporated into daily routines to ultimately live a more joyful and purposeful life.

Yogini Elena

Elena is a compassionate certified yogini and a spiritual counselor. She holds a B.A. in creative writing and is passionate about merging her love for the traditions of Eastern Philosophies with Western practice of yoga. Elena inspires students by sharing her devotion throughout the world and offers classes, retreats, and workshops in English, Italian, and French. She believes everything is always in Divine order and that the best approach to life is to be fully present at any moment.

Facilities

Om Sampoorn Yoga is centrally located in the heart of Rishikesh at the Yoga Niketan Ashram. We purposely chose this location for our retreats (this is one of the oldest Ashrams in Rishikesh) for you to be able to fully immerse yourself in the true meaning of yoga. Rishikesh - the world's capital of yoga - situated by the sacred river Ganga with its majestic mountains, ancient temples, sadhus, and sacred ceremonies is the perfect environment to practice yoga on and off the mat.

Testimonials

Testimonials:

"Both of them are wonderful, inspiring persons. They showed me what yoga really is about. Beside the meditation and asana classes they took me in just four days to so many places. I still can't believe. To ashrams and ceremonies, temples by the sunrise, into the mountains, to a bath in the Ganga and chat with locals and sadhus... When you are with them you can fell India and yoga how it really is. So don't miss the chance to get to know Elena and Vimal. There is nothing to chaplain about. Just be aware that the facilities at the ashram are simples. But his is how ashrams used to be." Vera S. March, 2018.

“Wow what an experience! Rishkesh is so amazing and omsampoornyoga such a special place to be. I booked the 7 day retreat and then extended my stay for 3 more days, because I wasn’t ready to leave. Now that I’m back I wished I stayed longer. Yogini Elena meditation classes were relaxing and peaceful. Yogi Vimal’s hatha was fun and definitely made me stronger. I have no words to describe the visit to Vashista cave because it was something so incredible. Loved the veg food at the ashram and I can say now I am a fan of restorative yoga! Thank you for your kindness and passion, omsampoornyoga." Marina M. January, 2018

“I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Both Vimal and Elena share their love and knowledge for yoga in such gracious ways. The schedule was well outlined and we visited places I never thought existed. I learned so much during my retreat and I am happy to take these teachings home and make them part of my daily life. Thank you omsmapoornyoga for doing what you do.” Erika B. February, 2018

"I have taken many beautiful classes with Elena when she was teaching in Florida where I live. Elena brings a spirit into the yoga studio that is calming, and also energizing...she lives her yoga on and off the mat with a grace and humor that makes it accessible for so many people, but also deepens one's practice. To be able to enter into her space on a retreat in India, would be wonderful! I highly recommend Elena for her kindness, compassion and profound knowledge of the ancient practice of yoga. Love her." Sigrid O. November, 2017
