Born and raised in Nepal — a land shaped by centuries of contemplative and spiritual traditions — Karnesh brings the quiet depth of his heritage into his work in Geneva.

​

His training began in 2007 and has taken him across Nepal and India, from Ashtanga studies in Mysore to Kriya and Kundalini practices in traditional ashrams. Long-term personal practice in yoga and meditation continues to anchor his teaching and presence.

​

For several years, Karnesh worked at Purna Yoga Retreats in Pokhara, Nepal, where he was immersed in the daily life of a residential retreat centre. He led regular group sound healing sessions, yoga and meditation classes, as well as mantra, kirtan, and Bhakti yoga practices, working under the guidance of highly experienced Nepali colleagues within a living tradition shaped by daily practice and shared learning.

​

Alongside this work, he trained in Kathmandu under Himalayan teachers, refining the precise and subtle art of Tibetan singing bowl sound healing. His sessions combine sound, presence, and careful technique to support deep rest, nervous-system regulation, and inner balance.

​

Music remains central to his offerings. A singer-songwriter with a Higher Diploma from Kathmandu Jazz Conservatory, he weaves voice, mantra, guitar, and harmonium into his work and leads kirtan practices that foster connection and quiet uplift.

​

Grounded in this lineage of practice and teaching, Karnesh went on to found the award-winning Kamala Yoga Nepal, through which he co-creates yoga journeys and Himalayan retreats with respected international teachers.

​

Clients often describe his presence as calm, warm, and grounded, and many say they feel at ease from the moment they arrive. He welcomes both Geneva’s local and international community seeking rest, clarity, and a return to themselves.

 

Karnesh works in English and has an advanced beginner level of French.
