International Guest Teachers: Bipin & Nitin Bartwal
Elevate Your Practice in the Presence of Wisdom.
Join Bipin Bartwal and Nitin Bartwal at IKIGAI this summer for a two-week residency, with structured learning and deep practice.
Last year, Bipin joined us at IKIGAI as our first international guest teacher. The response from the community was immediate. Thoughtful, precise, and deeply rooted, his teaching left a lasting impression.
Over the past year, we stayed connected, with a shared intention to build something more meaningful for the IKIGAI community.
This July, he returns.
And this time, alongside his elder brother Nitin. Together, they bring a rare combination of lineage, experience, and a modern understanding of practice. Two perspectives shaped by the same foundation, expressed through their own unique teaching.
When Bipin First Joined Us
Bipin’s first visit at IKIGAI left a strong impression. Clear, structured, and deeply rooted teaching that resonated with the community. This year, he returns with his brother Nitin, bringing an even deeper layer to the experience.
