Elevating the Spirit of Yoga to the World’s Highest Peaks
Sohan Singh, the visionary founder of SohanYoga International, is known not only for his deep dedication to the practice of yoga but also for his bold mission to redefine its boundaries. In a groundbreaking feat of physical and spiritual resilience, Sohan Singh made history by performing advanced yoga asanas at the Everest Base Camp, located at an altitude of 5,364 meters (17,598 feet) above sea level.
Our yogi’s quest to create a world record began with a desire to explore the power of yoga in one of the most challenging environments on Earth—the Everest Base Camp. Their journey involved trekking through the Khumbu Valley, acclimatizing at high altitudes, and performing advanced yoga poses under extreme weather conditions.
The idea to set this record came during a visit to Tibet, where the realization of testing yoga’s potential in a hypoxic environment took root. This journey is more than a record; it’s a statement that yoga’s power knows no bounds.
Everest Yogi’s mission is to inspire others to explore their inner strength, embrace the discipline of yoga, and challenge themselves beyond their perceived limits.
Discover the story of our yogi’s journey to the top of the world, where he performed advanced yoga asanas in the rarefied air of the Himalayas. The record was set as a symbol of resilience, discipline, and the transformative power of yoga in extreme conditions.
