Namaskaram,

My name is Nishant and I’m a Classical Hatha Yoga Teacher, trained with Sadhguru Gurukulam.

Yoga happened to me at a time when I was least expecting it. Back when I was in college, I attended a workshop for Surya Kriya, one of the core Hatha Yoga practices offered by Isha. For me, it was supposed to be just another sun salutation class, something physical to keep myself in shape and healthy. But something about the way it was taught and the intensity with which it was offered to me, blew me away.

Keeping up with the practice daily opened life up to me in ways that I could not have dreamed of. Although my intentions for taking up yoga were purely for the physical aspect of it, it quickly became clear to me that I was merely scratching the surface.

I couldn’t find the words to articulate the kind of impact it was having on me, but I knew that it was working. I felt it in the way I was expressing my thoughts, I felt it in my increased energy levels, I felt it in the immense joy that I was feeling in just waking up every morning, to know that I’m still alive and breathing.

I felt a longing to challenge myself more and make these amazing tools a possibility for more people. So in 2022, I dropped everything that I was doing, and went through the 5-month Isha Hatha Yoga Teacher Training program at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore, India. The training was intense and required me to really give it my all: nearly 8 hours of intense sadhana everyday! And as you can see in the picture, I successfully finished the training with a big smile on my face.

Hatha Yoga is holistic, it is empowering and it has the ability to transform an individual’s life. I want every breath, every moment of my life to be in pursuit of human well-being and to make this a possibility for as many people as I can. I wish to make the transformative tools of Hatha Yoga accessible to as many people as I possibly can.

If you have made it this far into reading this, I want you to know that I love you, I really do. Not just for reading through all of this, but for playing some tangible role in pushing me onto this path. Let’s add more love to the world!
