Himanshu Joshi

Himanshu Joshi is known not only for his own journey of transformation, but also for the positive impact he creates in the lives of others. Guided by the values of conscious living, he is committed to creating meaningful change in the world around him. A strong believer in karma yoga, or selfless service, he has dedicated himself to work that supports both people and the wider community - through creating employment, caring for animals and plants, supporting the environment, and uplifting those in need.

Together with his wife, Akane, he has traveled extensively and experienced a wide range of spa and wellness services around the world. Inspired by these experiences, they set out to create something truly special in Rishikesh.

That vision became Himalayan Yoga Spa - a space shaped by quality, care, and a grounded sense of purpose. Through his leadership, Himanshu continues to inspire others with a way of living that is thoughtful, practical, and deeply rooted in service.
