Certified Yoga Teacher
Rajesh
Pranayama / Anatomy
Rajesh’s first yoga experience was at A Gentle Way. A little over ten years ago, his mother brought him to his first yoga class to help him heal from an injury. Since then, he has practised many different styles of yoga, most of which focused solely on asana (poses). While he enjoyed the physical aspects of these classes, Rajesh always felt something was missing from the spiritual experience he’d only felt when practising at A Gentle Way.
Rajesh didn’t hesitate to apply for the opportunity to enrol in Yoga TTC. While his primary physical background is in Yoga Philosophy, he has always used yoga’s calming spiritual practices to counterbalance the intensity of philosophy. This balance of energies is apparent in his Functional Movement, Hatha Yoga, where he teaches a breakdown of the asanas while guiding students into a deeper universal awareness.
Registered Pranayama Teacher
Nvard Grigoryan
Philosophy / Pranayama
Nvard began her yoga journey to elevate the quality of life and build a like-minded community. She did her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2017 and explored traditional Indian philosophy. It offered her tools to take a step back from the chaos of life, breathe, and see things from a new perspective. Yoga fosters awareness, compassion, and gratitude, qualities she likes to incorporate into her classes. Her style is a gentle, flowing pranayama that creates a space to grow, explore, and discover your passion for yoga, which will keep drawing you back to the mat. Through the practice, She hopes you will discover the inner wealth and outer health that yoga can provide.

PREKSHA
Anatomy Teacher
My journey with Yoga is a lifelong one. After dedicating years to my personal practice, I completed my 500-hour Yoga TTC at the renowned AYM Yoga School in Goa. My commitment and talent were recognized, and I was honored to be asked to join the school as a teacher. With a certification in applied anatomy, I bring a unique perspective to my classes, blending the spiritual and physical aspects of Yoga. This practice is more than just a passion; it is my ikigai—my true purpose—and I am excited to guide you on your Yoga journey.

Asana Teacher
Namaste 🙏
I’m Deveshwar, a dedicated Yoga instructor born and brought up in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. After completing my schooling in Bilaspur, I moved to Bhilai (Steel City) to pursue my undergraduate degree, followed by a Master’s in Commerce from Bilaspur in 2022.
During my journey of self-discovery, I enrolled in The Art of Living course, where I was first introduced to the transformative power of Yoga. This newfound passion led me to Rishikesh, the yoga capital of the world, where I completed my 500-hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga TTC and 100-hour Pre & Postnatal Yoga TTC.
Following my training, I had the opportunity to assist at the ashram for 6 months, supporting various teacher-training programs, including 200-hour, 300-hour, Prenatal & Postnatal, Aerial, and Yin Yoga. Later, I began teaching independently, conducting drop-in classes, private sessions, and workshops focused on alignment and asana.
With over two years of teaching experience, my goal is to help students connect deeply with their body and breath, cultivate awareness, and bring balance to their physical and mental well-being through Yoga.
RYT 500-HOUR CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR
AYUSHI TONDON
Asana Teacher
Ayurshi has been a faithful practitioner of multiple forms of Yoga since the age 05. Over the previous decade, Ayushi has continually expanded her practice, experimenting at various points with the following styles of Yoga: Hatha, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Vinyasa, and Yin/Restorative. Ayushi began teacher training and has completed her 500–hour YTT in Rishikesh, as well as a YCB level-3 certificate from the AYUSH Ministry (Govt. of India) and a Miss Yogini award winner in her teenage years. As far as teaching philosophy is concerned, Ayushi passionately believes in the importance of creating her own dynamic sequences. All of Ayushi’s classes, whether Hatha or Vinyasa, focus on postures that flow logically and effortlessly into one another. If your mind is overly fixated on perfectly performing a pose, then the gateway to the heart is blocked. Ayushi believes that the essence of Yoga is to reunite us with our strayed heart lovingly.
CERTIFIED AYM’s RYT-200 TEACHER
SHRIKANT
Asana / Philosophy
Shrikant began his Yoga journey in his childhood. Not being naturally flexible, Shrikant faces many challenges in practising Yoga poses, which helps him understand and relate to his students’ challenges during practice. Shrikant completed his 200-hour RYT training at AYM Yoga School in Goa and has since attended many workshops with world-renowned Yoga gurus. Shrikant’s classes are breath, foundation, and alignment-based Ashtanga-Vinyasa flows that incorporate creative, fun, yet challenging sequences. He hopes to see you on your mat soon!

Ankur is a free spirit and spends most of his time doing multiple yoga asanas. As a lover of movement, Ankur is passionate about his practice. He practices yoga and studies with hand balancers, ropes, and contortionists to expand his knowledge and explore his body’s capabilities. He practices both Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga, as he enjoys traditional and spontaneous practice.
