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.
A Calling Beyond Limits: Sohan Singh’s journey began not just with a trek through the Himalayas, but with a deeper inner calling—to demonstrate how yoga is not merely a practice of comfort and peace, but a tool of transformation even in the harshest environments. For Singh, this expedition wasn’t just about testing physical endurance; it was a pilgrimage of discipline, breath, and inner mastery.
Trekking to Everest Base Camp is a daunting task on its own. Thin air, freezing temperatures, and rugged terrain challenge even the most seasoned climbers. But Sohan Singh carried with him more than just gear—he brought years of yogic sadhana, mental focus, and spiritual conviction.
Once at the base camp, amidst icy winds and snow-laden silence, Sohan Singh began a sequence of advanced asanas, including inversions, balances, and meditative postures—each movement performed with grace, control, and breath awareness.
This performance set a new milestone in the history of yoga, showcasing its resilience in extreme conditions and sending a message to the world: yoga is not confined to studios and serene settings—it is a path of strength and awakening that can be carried anywhere, even to the roof of the world.
