Pankaj Semwal
Founder of Virasat Yoga Retreat
Greetings! I am Pankaj Semwal, a passionate yoga practitioner and a proud advocate of the ancient wisdom that yoga brings to our lives. I come from the serene and picturesque town of Urgam Valley, nestled in the Himalayas. This enchanting place, surrounded by nature’s tranquility, has shaped my soul and my connection to yoga.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Yoga and have completed a comprehensive 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, the world’s Yoga capital. My journey with yoga has not only been a path to physical wellness but also a deep spiritual journey.
I am a nature lover and an avid trekker, which has given me a unique perspective on the power of yoga amidst the natural beauty of the mountains. Through the creation of Virasat Yoga Retreat, I aim to bring people closer to the ancient heritage of yoga by offering immersive experiences in the heart of the Himalayas. The word “Virasat” translates to heritage, and what better way to experience yoga than in the land where its roots originated?
Our retreats combine traditional yoga practices with the rejuvenating power of nature. From the sacred town of Rishikesh to the majestic Himalayan peaks, our destination yoga retreats provide the perfect space for personal transformation, healing, and deep connection with self and nature.
Join us on a transformative journey where heritage and nature unite to create a truly unique yoga experience.

Yogshri Ji
Great sound healer, reiki master and spiritual master
When I was eight years old, my father told me, “A spiritual person may not necessarily be a religious person.” At the time, I didn’t fully understand what he meant. But everything changed when I received initiation from my spiritual master and experienced the transcendental world within. From a businessman, I transformed into a dedicated spiritual practitioner.
Over the past decade, I have guided more than 10,000 people toward discovering their true purpose, attaining inner peace, and achieving balance in life. I have come to realize that the world is lost in a flawed idea of success, and the modern education system fails to nurture true fulfillment. The only way to change this is by cultivating a new generation of peacemakers and healers.
If this vision resonates with you, I invite you to join my next live masterclass, where I will unveil my “Divine Peace Launchpad”—a powerful system that is transforming the lives of life coaches, speakers, yoga teachers, and experts.
