How hard work and devotion to putting smiles on peoples’ faces led Yogacharya Dhakaram becoming an internationally recognized face.

Biography

Yogacharya Dhakaram is a passionate yogi and inspiring teacher whose life revolves around the practice. A two-time international gold medalist and recipient of numerous national awards, his dedication to yoga is unparalleled.

Dhakaram’s journey began under the guidance of his guru, Shri Suraj Karan Jindal Sahib of Jaipur. It was here that he discovered his true calling. Since 1993, he has devoted himself to healing others through yoga. Looking at his engrossment and dedication in yoga, Sharat Dhakad – Dhakaram’s dear friend and a fellow student of Guruji Shri Suraj Karan Jindal Sahib, prompted him to lay the foundation of YogaPeace. He then founded YogaPeace in 1998, followed by YogaPeace Sansthan.

Dhakaram’s profound practice and exceptional teaching skills have earned him widespread recognition and acclaim. He is deeply committed to his students, offering personalized guidance and support. His unique teaching style adapts to individual needs, making yoga accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Over the years, he has transformed countless lives, helping people overcome physical and mental challenges they once thought impossible.

In 2008, Dhakaram had the privilege of learning from Yogacharya Shri Karunakar ji, a disciple of the renowned B.K.S. Iyengar. This invaluable mentorship deepened his understanding of therapeutic yoga.

A lifelong learner, Dhakaram’s expertise extends beyond yoga. He is also trained in various alternative healing modalities such as acupressure, Su Jok Therapy, Twist Therapy, Smile Meditation, Smile Yoga, and naturopathy.

Dhakaram’s passion for sharing the transformative power of yoga led him to expand his reach. In addition to his centers in India, he opened PeaceYoga in Dubai, bringing the healing benefits of yoga to a wider audience.

As Dhakaram beautifully puts it, “Teaching gives me a great deal of satisfaction and the opportunity of self-realization through the process of yoga. It allows me to contribute to society in the best way I can and enjoy.
