Jyothi Kumar
Founder & Lead Instructor

Namaste !

I am Jyothi kumar ,bow to the Yoga and all yogis of yoga lineage for  blessing upon me  the boon of yoga for self-actualization and serving humanity through it. My father tells me that he had an intense vision of light in his dream before I was to be born, so he named me Jyothi .

Fortunate to be born in a spiritual family, grown up going to sleep with listening to the mythological stories and the epics and waking up in the mornings with Bhagavad Gita chantings.. From an early age, I was fascinated by the life stories of yogis, deeply influenced by the teachings of Swami Vivekananda .

At the age of 17, I had my first yoga class, and since then, yoga has become my love, life, and world. Understanding that yoga is the realization of the self, I absorbed it from the unselfish saints and true yogis with keenness and total surrender of my ego through placing my self at holy dust of their feet  .

Started my yoga education ,learning fundamentals of yoga practices ,philosophy ,meditation and teaching yoga from Swami Vivekananda yoga deemed university ,famed for yoga and scientific research studying .

Enhanced philosophy knowledge of different branches and spiritual wisdom from the Himalayan masters and the saints by studying two month residential  yoga and philosophy course at yoga Vedanta forest academy ,shivananda ashram ,Rishikesh  . 

I was initiated into Kevala Kumbhaka Sadhana by Gurudev Swami Yogananda Bharati .

Practiced asthanga vinyasa in mysore ; Iyengar yoga from the certified Iyengar  yoga teachers .

I am an E-RYT 500 hours yoga alliance teacher as well .

I love to be a life long learner of yoga so that I can explore more of the infinite yoga world by growing with new ideas everyday and sharing wisdom with all in in a more lively ,joyful creative way .

I have the privilege of spreading ancient yoga science in Russia and china for over three years .

I am ever grateful to yoga for giving me the opportunity to teach yoga in Goa and Dharmashala to all yoga loving hearts of the world .

My typical classes are classical Hatha yoga ,Sivananda yoga ,Hathayoga with emphasis on awareness and alignment , hatha flows ,asthanga vinyasa and vinyasa flows .

I love teaching pranayama , yoga Nidra , meditation and philosophy.

My happiest times are in practicing yoga 

My truest joy is in teaching & ensuring all my students experience the beauty and bliss of yoga practice.

My greatest pride is in humbly following the path of lineage of yogis to keep the light of yoga effulgent  and receive its blessings with all to the fullest of my ability.
