About the Retreat Facilitators
Rahul Chamoli
Rahul Chamoli was born in Rishikesh, the world capital of Yoga. According to a famous saying in India: “ If you are born in Rishikesh, you already have yoga in your blood”.
Before his path in Yoga, Rahul Ji finished his bachelor with a major in hospitality in Odisha, India. After 4 years of studying in India he went on to work as a Chef de partie in the Maldives for 5 years.
Not long after returning home, he had the luck of meeting his Guru Narendra Gusain at his uncle’s Yoga institute named “Rishikesh Yog Peeth” in Rishikesh.
After some time and a lot of observation during discussions about the Yoga Philosophy, Rahul realized that there was no doubt that he belonged to Yoga and since then his Yoga journey started.
Under the blessings of Shri Narayan Dutt (Narendra Gusain’s Guru) and the guidance of his Guru and best friend Vijay ji, Rahul contributed 1 year of passionate and devoted self-practice focusing on intensive deep Yoga Philosophy, Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga.
After finished the training his Guru sent him to Vietnam to share and spread the knowledge and wisdom he had learned.
Rahul Ji was the main teacher of many teacher training courses in the Nomad Yoga Center in Hoi An for nearly two and a half years.
