Maa Haripriya was born in the UK to an Indian family. But a normal life there never felt right for her. Even as a young girl, she felt pulled toward something deeper, something she couldn’t fully explain at the time. She went through a hard period of personal struggle, and this pushed her to look for answers beyond the world she had grown up in.
Instead of staying with what felt familiar, she made the decision to leave England behind and return to India, where yoga became the practice that changed everything for her. It wasn’t a hobby she picked up casually. It became the thing that lifted the fog she had been living under and brought her fully into the present moment, often for the first time in years. She spent long stretches of time in the Himalayas, learning directly from lineage masters rather than through books or short courses, and it was through this hands-on, traditional route that she eventually qualified as a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher.
Her training didn’t stop there. Over the years that followed, she added Sound Healing, Cacao Rituals, and Reiki to her practice, studying each one seriously rather than treating them as add-ons. Rather than keeping these separate from her Kundalini classes, she weaves all of them together into a single, layered experience. A session with her might move through breathwork, sound, and ritual in ways that feel connected rather than like separate activities stitched together. This blend is part of what makes her classes stand out so strongly. Many students describe her sessions as the most emotionally intense and transformative part of their entire time at the academy, often mentioning it long after their course has ended.
Because Kundalini work can bring up strong emotions and sensations in the body, Maa Haripriya pays close attention to how each student is responding during a session, adjusting pace and intensity rather than pushing everyone through the same fixed sequence. Her own past struggle and eventual healing seem to shape this instinct — she teaches like someone who understands what it feels like to sit with discomfort before finding release on the other side of it.
She now serves as the lead instructor for all Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training programmes at both the Rishikesh and Bali campuses, carrying the same depth of practice across two very different settings and student groups.
She leads: 100, 200, 300 and 500 Hour Kundalini Yoga TTC — Rishikesh and Bali.
