Dr. Shri Yogi Hari

Shri Yogi Hari is a Master of Sampoorna Yoga. He is well-known and respected around the world as an inspiring teacher.

At the age of 22, Shri Yogi Hari was introduced to yoga by his wife, Leela Mata. Like many people, he started to practice yoga for health reasons. He was labeled as medicated incurable and suffered depleted energy due to the medications he was taking. Through disciplined yoga practice and changing his diet, he was able to stop taking medication entirely and his body restored its state of good health. He continued to practice yoga dedicatedly before his yearning for spiritual knowledge led him to seek further guidance.

1975 marked the year he met his gurus, Swami Vishnu-Devananda and music master Swami Nada-Brahmananda, and subsequently retired from worldly life. Shri Yogi Hari comes from the Sivananda lineage, having lived in the Sivananda Ashram with his wife, mother-in-law, and four children for seven years.  During this time, he immersed himself fully in Yoga Sadhana and advanced practices of yoga. With the blessing of his gurus, he opened his own ashram in 1982 and has continued to teach yoga for enlightenment for over forty years.

8 years ago, while working on the ashram grounds, Shri Yogi Hari broke his back (ruptured disc L4 and bulging disc L5). As a result, he was bed-ridden for two years. Once again, he turned to yoga to heal his body and was able to overcome a seemingly insurmountable injury and is now able to move freely and continue to work around the ashram.

Sampoorna Yoga is the fruit of Shri Yogi Hari's tireless self-effort in the practice and teaching of yoga. His approach to teaching is deep, simple, and practical. He emphasizes foundational concepts such as healthy body, healthy mind, and high aspirations. Based on a long-standing tradition of yogic values, his teachings help people from all backgrounds to live a richer, happier life. The essence of Sampoorna Yoga is based on the premise that health, peace, and joy are already within you.  Sampoorna Yoga can help you to realize this truth, lifting the veils so that you can abide in your true nature.

Shri Yogi Hari offers regular classes, seminars, sadhana workshops, teacher training courses, and satsangs at his ashram in Miramar, Florida. Yogiji's inspirational teachings, in all their different aspects, lead to the ultimate goal of living Divine Life, right here and now.
