Owner of

Bhagavata-sevaya School of Yoga 

I'm a life-long practitioner who's been teaching yoga and meditation classes for the past 16 years. I am also the author of two books on yoga philosophy, I lead live online workshops and courses, and offer 1:1 mentorships to yoga teachers.

Hari-kirtana das is a yoga teacher, spiritual mentor, and the author of Journey Into the Bhagavad Gita and In Search of the Highest Truth: Adventures in Yoga Philosophy.

Hari has been practicing devotional and other yogic disciplines for over 40 years, has lived in yoga ashrams and intentional spiritual communities, worked for Fortune 500 companies and Silicon Valley start-ups, and brings a wide range of spiritual knowledge and life experience to his classes, workshops, and presentations.

In addition to a lifetime of practice, Hari-kirtana has an 800-hour yoga teacher certification from the Jivamukti Yoga School and has been teaching yoga and meditation classes for the past 15 years. He's on the faculty of numerous Yoga Teacher Training programs, offers numerous live online workshops and courses throughout the year, and is a frequent contributor to forums and magazines about the enduring relevance of yoga’s ancient wisdom to life in the modern world.

Hari’s mission is to illuminate the many ways in which the yoga wisdom tradition can guide us toward meaningfully transformative spiritual experiences. His talent for making complex ideas easy to understand, his keen sense of humor, and his passion for critical thinking and meaningful dialog have made him a sought-after speaker and podcast guest.
