Madhav Adhikari, also known asAtma Swami, is the visionary founder and chairman of Happy Yoga Nepal. His journey into yoga began at the age of 10, overcoming initial disapproval from his parents by trading vegetables from the family garden for early morning classes. Undeterred, Madhav’s determination won his family’s support, leading him to India and Nepal for a teacher training certificate at the Himalayan Yoga Academy, guided by Swami Yogsubod.
Returning to Nepal, the land of the Himalayas, Yogi Madhav delved deeper into Kundalini and Hatha yoga, honing his skills under Swamiji’s guidance. In 2017, he realized his childhood vision by establishing Happy Yoga Nepal, a spiritual haven.
For a decade, Madhav financially supported the Ashram by teaching yoga at Gandaki Public School in Kathmandu. His reputation as an exceptional yoga teacher earned him opportunities to teach in Nepal, India, Bangkok, Thailand, including conducting yoga teacher training courses.
Happy Yoga Nepal, under Madhav’s leadership, stands out as Nepal’s top yoga teacher training program and retreat center. The institute boasts a legacy of training and certifying yoga instructors, drawing experts and instructors from around the globe.

Welcome Happy Yoga Nepal!
Mar 2022 • Solo
I arrived in Mar for the 200 ytt. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt extremely welcome. The staff and owners here are so incredibly loving and genuine. During my 3 weeks here I experienced indepth training and fantastic, vegetarian meals. After my 3 weeks was over, I continued to visit to see my friends that were taking the 500 ytt. The staff were always so happy to see me and encouraged me to join classes and eat meals with them. It was not easy leaving this mindful, loving environment. I highly recommend HappyYoga Nepal whether for a day or a month. Thank you to the beautiful people of HYN

An amazing yoga school in Nepal! I joined the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in May 2026 and had a truly transformative experience. The teachers were experienced, supportive, and passionate about sharing authentic yoga. The course covered asana, pranayama, meditation, and philosophy in a well-organized and inspiring way. The peaceful environment made it easy to focus, learn, and grow. I am grateful for this journey and highly recommend this school to anyone seeking genuine yoga training in Nepal.
