About US
Cafe Founder – Yogi Himanshu Joshi
The vision of Himalayan Yoga Cafe, founded by Yogi Himanshu Joshi, is to create a space where every individual can reconnect with their own presence – nourished by wholesome, satisfying, and clean food, and uplifted by a rejuvenating environment in the heart of Rishikesh. The cafe was conceived as a sanctuary where wellness, flavor, and conscious living come together effortlessly.
Inspired by his journeys across the world, Himanshu has infused the cafe with a sense of global beauty and creativity, designing an atmosphere that reflects both his openness of mind and his passion for meaningful experiences. His travels as a lifestyle have shaped a unique space that feels expansive, welcoming, and thoughtfully crafted.
As the founder of two of the largest yoga schools – Himalayan Yoga Association in Rishikesh and Bali Yoga School in Bali – his dedication to holistic well-being extends far beyond yoga practice. The vegetarian and vegan menu at Himalayan Yoga Cafe is an extension of his philosophy: to elevate physical, mental, and spiritual wellness through food that supports a conscious way of living.
Himalayan Yoga Café stands as a natural continuation of his life’s work—offering nourishment, comfort, and inspiration to all who seek balance, vitality, and a deeper connection to themselves.
