Where Focus Meets Flavor
KOHI CAFE is our response to all those who have been requesting a specific space in which they can have enough space to get their work done, meet the deadline of a certain project, or even study without the usual cafe distractions.
PEOPLE MATTER
You can be a digital nomad checking your mail, a student studying for finals, a writer composing your next book, or a person who is more productive when you leave your room, we have your back (and your coffee).
Feeling Good
We have created a bright, air-conditioned oasis in Rishikesh where productivity and comfort are one. Imagine it as your own shared working environment, without the membership costs and awkwardness.
Cafe Founder – Yogi Himanshu Joshi
The vision of Himalayan Yoga Cafe, founded by Yogi Himanshu Joshi, is to create a welcoming space where individuals can reconnect with their presence through clean, nourishing food and a calm, rejuvenating environment in the heart of Rishikesh.
Inspired by his travels around the world, Himanshu has shaped the cafe with a global and creative sensibility, reflecting openness, simplicity, and thoughtful design.
As the founder of Himalayan Yoga Association in Rishikesh and Bali Yoga School in Bali, his commitment to holistic wellbeing extends beyond yoga practice.
Himalayan Yoga Cafe is a natural extension of his life’s work—providing nourishment, comfort, and inspiration for those seeking balance and mindful living.
We Are a Part of Something Bigger
More than a co-working cafe, we are a wellness community rooted in yoga and healing. Surrounded by spacious indoor and garden café spaces, nourishing food, and a restorative spa, this is a place to work, pause, and reconnect. Here, productivity and well-being grow together.
Thriving Digital Nomads Can Be a Yogi. We Support You.
You don’t have to choose between productivity and well-being. Here, digital nomads find balance through focused workspaces, nourishing coffee, yoga practices, and healing experiences. Work with clarity, move with intention, and recharge your body and mind in an environment designed to support both your goals and your growth.
