Yogconnection
Yogconnection was founded by Raghav, an artist with a visionary spirit and an authentic charisma. His journey into yoga began in 2014 during a transformative teacher training course in Rishikesh, India, on the serene banks of the Ganges River. It was here, in the heart of the yoga capital of the world, that Raghav fell deeply in love with the practice. Inspired by this profound connection, he opened his first yoga studio,Yogconnection, where the sacred energy of the Ganges flowed into every practice. The studio became a sanctuary for travelers seeking personal growth and spiritual healing. After Rishikesh, Raghav’s vision took him to Pokhara, Nepal, where he set out to fulfill his dream of hosting an international yoga festival in Nepal—a dream that took five years to manifest. Last year, Raghav succeeded in hosting the festival not once, but twice, drawing yogis from all over the world. The event was supported by the Nepal Tourism Board, the Metropolitan Pokhara, and the Pokhara Tourism Council, earning extensive media coverage across Nepal.
Now, Yogconnection has found a new home in Kathmandu, Nepal, in collaboration with Yog Hotel. The studio is tucked away just outside the bustling Thamel district, offering a peaceful retreat with an unobstructed rooftop view of the ancient Monkey Temple—one of the oldest temples in Nepal, dating back over two thousand years. Yog Hotel is a beautifully landscaped property, featuring lush gardens, fruit trees, palm plants, and a koi pond, creating an idyllic space for transformation. Raghav continues to nurture sacred circles filled with kirtan chanting, drumming, and music collaborations with international artists, blending traditional rhythms with contemporary sounds to elevate the experience. His passion for yoga, music, and community continues to inspire and transform, as he creates spaces for people to reconnect with themselves and each other.
