Why Marathonyogis?


We need peace, fulfillment, enlightenment and liberation, enjoyment, determination, and strength to tackle this modern chaotic world.

What we need is not just another program. We need a way of life. A way of life I have come to enjoy because it has changed the way I take care of myself. A way of life that can be and should be shared so that more can benefit.

Getting up early morning doing the yoga asanas & pranayam, feeling the body stretch, feeling every strand of muscle fiber in the body. Turning the mind inwards.

Then a run, amplifying the feeling of being at peace with our own existence.

Helping us to accept who we are and helping us understand that we are more than just a body that when the body gives up still we go a long way and accomplish things which we never dreamed of.

Bringing peace and harmony to our existence and inculcating the much needed discipline in life is the goal of a marathon yogi.

Join us for this long & exciting run called life.
Rajeev Sharma is the founder of marathonyogis. He was no stranger to yoga being born and brought up in Dehradun near Haridwar and influenced by his Paternal Grandfather, who himself a practitioner of Yoga and Pranayama, was closely associated with Swami Dayanand Saraswati. The turbulence of teenage life made him search for a meaning in life. His quest for inner peace and harmony and self improvement led him to discover Yoga in 1996. His voracious appetite to learn more made him earn his Bachelor of Education degree in Yoga from Panjab University. Yoga became a way of life-in essence the true religion. He had been teaching yoga on weekends in offices and coaching a marathon team. He continued the practice of yoga and moved into the corporate world. In 2013 he decided that it was time to move on to his true calling. He renounced his corporate life to spend more time on his personal practice and his running, yoga, and weightloss coaching. A passionate mountain lover Rajeev loves the rigor of Mountain Biking & Trail Running and the calm of Mountain Walks & Yoga.
