Yangchen Lhampo

Yoga Instructor

My name is Yangchen Lhamo and I am 30 years old. In 2015, I graduated from Royal Thimphu College with a degree in Business Administration, specialized in Marketing. My passion in life is creating and improving the well-being of all sentient beings, animals and people. I love learning and exploring new things and meeting new people. My professional career spans almost 8 years, and I have experience in a wide variety of fields. From marketing to animal welfare to finance to sustainability to community engagement to yoga and meditation.

My interest in yoga developed gradually when I started to self-practice at home, using YouTube videos as instruction. Later on I got taught by a Bhutanese traditional medicine doctor who also was an internationally certified yoga teacher. This piqued my interest to take a step further in my yoga journey, and I decided in 2020 to travel to Rishikesh in India, popularly known as the birthplace of yoga. There I started out with a 200 hours, month-long, Yoga Teacher Training Course from one of the renowned yoga schools named Rishikul Yogshala. In 2022, I again went there for my 300 hours Yoga Teacher Training Course. Yoga now has become as essential to me as oxygen is to any living being. I thoroughly enjoy my daily practice, and even after the most exhausting day at work I won’t think of skipping a day.Practicing in Mother Nature inspires me. From in the woods to on the riverside, or while hiking one of Bhutan numerous mountain tracks.
