Meet Himalayan Spiritual Master Anand Mehrotra: The Visionary Behind Sattva Yoga

In the heart of the Himalayas, where ancient rivers whisper timeless truths and mountain peaks touch the sky, a modern-day sage is quietly leading a revolution in consciousness. Anand Mehrotra, the founder of Sattva Yoga, is more than a yoga teacher. He’s a Himalayan Spiritual Master, visionary, and global thought leader whose mission is to awaken humanity through a powerful blend of ancient wisdom and contemporary insight.

Born in the sacred city of Rishikesh, known as the birthplace of yoga, Anand was immersed in the yogic tradition from a young age. Trained under the oral lineage of the Himalayan sages, his education was far more than academic. It was alive. It pulsed through daily ritual, sacred silence, and deep inquiry into the nature of reality. This early spiritual formation set the foundation for what would become a global movement of transformation.

In 2012, Anand introduced Sattva Yoga to the world, not as another style, but as a complete path of wholeness. “Sattva” means wholeness, truth or purity in Sanskrit, and the practice lives up to its name. Unlike fragmented forms of yoga that focus solely on posture or breath, Sattva Yoga weaves together the full spectrum of yogic science, all in one immersive experience.

In 2017, Anand founded Sattva Yoga Academy in the sacred foothills of the Himalayas. Sattva Yoga includes and transcends all branches of yoga. It’s a dynamic and evolving practice that absorbs new dimensions of intelligence while staying rooted in its Himalayan origins. The principles of Sattva Yoga invite practitioners into an ever-evolving journey of kriya, meditation, movement, pranayama, mantra, radical aliveness, and stillness. It’s a science of transformation, with each practice creating shifts at the cellular level, while offering dynamic and meditative experiences that activate the deepest layers of being.

Sattva Yoga honours the depths of the Himalayan yogic tradition while speaking directly to the needs of modern life. It's a dynamic system designed not just to stretch the body, but to liberate the soul. It’s a way of living by example. On this path, life itself becomes the practice.

This path is embodied fully by Anand Mehrotra, a teacher who lives his teachings. His presence is grounded yet expansive, rooted in ancient philosophy, yet pulsing with a contemporary edge. Whether he’s leading a pilgrimage to sacred Himalayan temples, riding his motorcycle along treacherous mountain passes (as seen in the documentaries The Highest Pass and The Road to Dharma), or guiding seekers through transformational teacher trainings at the Sattva Yoga Academy, Anand invites people into a radical reimagining of what life can be.

“Yoga is not something you do on the mat. It’s how you live, breathe, and evolve.”

Through his work, Anand challenges us to dissolve the boundaries between our spiritual practice and our everyday existence. To lead with presence. To live our dharma. To serve, evolve, and awaken, right here, right now.

Beyond the mat, Anand’s influence spans multiple ventures, each a reflection of his vision for conscious living. From Sattva Connect, his online platform, to the Sattva Retreat centre in Rishikesh, Sattva Summit, Sattva Music, Sattva Jyotish Gems, the Sattva Collection and humanitarian projects like the Khushi Charitable Society, every initiative embodies sacred enterprise; business as service.

Through his global platform Sattva Connect, Anand’s teachings are now reaching homes across continents, guiding a worldwide community of seekers, from yoga teachers and creatives to entrepreneurs and scientists. His impact is both intimate and expansive, personal and planetary.

In a world hungry for depth, Himalayan Spiritual Master Anand Mehrotra offers more than knowledge. He offers transformation. His life is a testament to the power of embodied wisdom, conscious action, and fearless love.

If you're ready to not just practice yoga, but become it, if you’re seeking a path that’s both ancient and highly relevant, then it’s time to meet Anand Mehrotra and experience the transformative power of Sattva Yoga.

Because, as Anand reminds us, “This life is not to be wasted. It is meant for awakening.”
