Praveen Semwal is the heart and guiding light of Anandmaya Yoga Academy.
Born in the sacred Himalayan region, he carries within him the timeless wisdom of Yoga,
the intuitive insight of Jyotish (Vedic Astrology),
and the gentle clarity of a true philosopher and spiritual teacher.
For over 25+ years, he has devoted his life to the path of yoga, meditation, and inner study — transforming ancient teachings into living experiences for thousands of students from around the world.
Praveen teaches Yoga not as a physical discipline, but as a flow of prana, a movement of consciousness.
His classes are soft, meditative, and deeply internal — designed to awaken the subtle body and guide students toward stillness, intuition, and inner alignment.
He reminds every student:
“Breath is your first teacher.
Silence is your final teacher.”
As a trained and experienced Vedic Astrologer, Praveen uses Jyotish as a tool to help students understand their karmic patterns, emotional tendencies, and deeper dharmic purpose.
