1. Authentic Wisdom, Not Just Information: I don’t teach from textbooks alone. I teach from a lifetime of devoted practice, direct experience, and deep assimilation of ancient yogic texts.

This means you’ll learn not just what an advanced technique is, but why it is, and how it truly affects your subtle energy and consciousness. I bring a rare ability to fuse timeless philosophy with modern understanding, allowing you to grasp subtle nuances often missed in other trainings, ensuring your practice and teaching are both authentic and impactful.

You’ll learn to truly ‘read’ bodies at an advanced level, understand precise alignment, and offer intelligent modifications that empower every student, regardless of their physical background.

Yoga is my passion. My journey began back in 1992, when I traveled to the Himalayas in search of the true essence of Yoga. I trained under the brightest minds in the Himalayan ashramas and was initiated by great Hindu spiritual leaders. It is here that I discovered the art of Yoga as a way to human consciousness and overall well-being. My four years of training with the mystics gave me a closer understanding of the physiology and psychology of the human body. My Gurus guided me on the path of meditation and mindfulness, and since then it has created momentous impacts in my life.
