Hey there! I’m Rahul, a yoga instructor with over 10 years of teaching experience, based in the beautiful town of Rishikesh – the yoga capital of the world. Yoga isn’t just my profession; it’s a big part of how I experience life, stay grounded, and connect with people from all walks of life.

When I’m not teaching or practicing, you’ll probably find me on a trek somewhere in the mountains, soaking in nature, or exploring new places. Traveling is something I deeply love – meeting new people, hearing their stories, and sharing experiences makes every journey richer. For me, life is about movement, whether it’s through a yoga flow, hiking a mountain trail, or stepping into the unknown in a new city.

I believe in simple joys – good conversations, nature, and the kind of friendships that happen when you least expect them. Whether you're visiting Rishikesh or we cross paths somewhere else, I’d love to connect, share a cup of chai, or head out for an adventure!

Let’s explore this journey called life together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe that the best part of traveling is connecting with people. It’s not just about visiting new places but experiencing them through the eyes of locals and fellow travelers. I love the sense of community, sharing stories, and creating memories with people from around the world.

Hosting or surfing, for me, is an opportunity to learn, grow, and form genuine connections. Whether it’s exploring nature, practicing yoga together, or simply sharing life experiences, I’m here for the adventure and the friendships that come with it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Process of Completing Panch Kedar Trek in Uttrakhand 3/5.

I once completed a solo trek in the Himalayas, spending days surrounded by nothing but mountains and silence. Reaching the summit felt like standing on top of the world – a humbling and unforgettable experience that deepened my connection with nature and myself. It reminded me how small we are compared to the vastness around us, yet how capable we can be when we trust the journey.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love the idea of exchanging knowledge and experiences. Through yoga, I get to teach others how to connect with their bodies and minds, but I also see every student and traveler as a teacher in their own way. Whether it’s learning about a new culture, picking up a local recipe, or hearing someone’s life story, I believe we all have something valuable to share.

I’m always open to teaching yoga, learning new skills, and sharing stories over a cup of chai. Let’s inspire and grow together!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experience and knowledge of yoga, whether it’s a full session, a few stretches, or simple breathing techniques to help relax and unwind. I’d love to guide a sunrise or sunset practice if you're interested!

I can also share stories from my travels, trekking adventures, and insights into life in Rishikesh – from hidden spots to spiritual experiences. If you enjoy being outdoors, I’m always up for a hike or exploring nature together.

Most importantly, I bring good energy, a positive outlook, and the willingness to contribute – whether it’s helping with daily tasks, cooking a simple meal, or just sharing meaningful conversations.
