Born in the holy city of Rishikesh, Amit Yogi's journey toward yoga was a natural unfolding, shaped by a deep-rooted passion for health and spirituality. He began his formal training with a Hatha Yoga Teachers Training Course at the prestigious Kaivalyadhama Institute in Pune, followed by immersive practice at the Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh.
It was his introduction to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga after completing his training that truly transformed his understanding of the practice — forging a profound spiritual connection with himself. Having devoted more than five years as a dedicated student, he began teaching in 2008 and has since guided students across India, China, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam, accumulating over 18 years of teaching experience.
Ravi Bisht is a 500-Hour Yoga Alliance USA registered teacher who began his yogic journey over 16 years ago in the spiritual city of Rishikesh, where he was born and raised. With a genuine intention to spread yoga as a tool for complete well-being, Ravi is widely regarded as one of the most experienced and respected Hatha yoga teachers in Rishikesh.
His approach is rare — he teaches Hatha yoga deeply rooted in the ethics and values of the tradition, enriched with a strong foundation in Iyengar yoga, methodically preparing students to achieve each asana correctly and safely. He firmly believes that yoga reveals its true benefits only when one embraces its discipline with sincerity, and he dedicates himself to guiding every student toward that transformative experience.
Born and raised within a traditional Brahmin family in Rishikesh, Yogi Shankar Ji was introduced to yoga and ancient scriptures from early childhood by his father, a respected Sanskrit scholar. This sacred upbringing ignited a lifelong pursuit of yogic wisdom, leading him to the Bihar School of Yoga in Munger for a certificate course, and later to the Yoga Vedanta Forest Academy at Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh, where he studied Vedanta under the careful guidance of his Guru.
Shankar Ji teaches Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, Yoga Nidra, Kriyas, and Mantra Yoga. He is deeply loved by his students for his calm and grounding presence and his rare ability to intuitively understand the inner struggles of each individual. A session with Shankar Ji leaves one feeling serene, centred, and profoundly connected across mind, body, and spirit.
Born in the holy city of Haridwar, Jagjeet Singh — affectionately known as Jaggi Ji — grew up immersed in the practice of yoga, surrounded by a family of dedicated practitioners. From a young age, he drew inspiration from ancient Hindu scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gita, and deepened his understanding under the loving mentorship of his grandfather, a devoted yogi.
Jaggi Ji completed his studies in Sanskrit and went on to earn a Master's degree in Science and Yoga from the esteemed Gurukul Kangri University in Haridwar. Drawn by an unquenchable thirst for deeper wisdom, he later ventured into the Himalayas and eventually settled in Rishikesh — the world capital of yoga — where he continues to evolve his practice and inspire students with his devotion to mantra chanting, pranayama, and meditation.
Yogi Neeraj Ji was born and raised in a deeply traditional Brahmin family in Rishikesh, the city revered as the world's yoga capital. Introduced to yoga and ancient scriptures in his early childhood by his Guru Ji, his foundation in the practice was built with reverence and rigorous discipline from the very beginning.
He pursued his formal academic studies at Uttarakhand Sanskrit University in Haridwar, where he earned his "Yog Shastri" — a graduate degree in Sanskrit — deepening both his philosophical understanding and practical mastery of the yogic sciences. Neeraj Ji's teaching style reflects the precision and dedication that Ashtanga yoga demands, and his classes offer students a transformative, grounded experience rooted in authentic tradition.
Yogi Rakesh carries a beautiful philosophy at the heart of his teaching — that every moment holds its own grace, and that connection, creativity, and calm are gifts available to all of us. He believes that each person, through sincere effort, has the power to make a meaningful difference in the world around them.
He holds a Diploma in Anatomy & Philosophy as well as a Diploma in Ayurveda, and has been sharing his expertise in Yoga Anatomy and Yoga Therapy with students for several years. His experience working with diverse students from all walks of life has elevated his teaching to an exceptional level of sensitivity and clarity. Known for his gentle and approachable nature, Yogi Rakesh has a remarkable ability to make even the most complex anatomical concepts feel simple, relevant, and deeply practical.
