Anand

Anand is an E-RYT® 500 Yoga Alliance Certified yoga teacher, a meditation facilitator, and an expert in pranayama (breathing techniques) and shatkarma (yogic purification practices).

Originally from Jharkhand in Northern India, Anand felt drawn to the yogic tradition from an early age. Over time, his practice became a way of life, and he developed a deep appreciation for the authentic path of yoga and the sense of inner balance it brought him. This inspired him to devote his energy to yoga and its holistic approach to life. He completed his 200-Hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Teacher Training Programme with Yog Namito in Goa, India, and later expanded his studies with a 300-Hour Multi-Style Course in Dharamshala. His spiritual teacher, Dev Rishi Giri, introduced him to pranayamas and ancient meditation techniques learned from his own great Himalayan Master in Gangotri.

With more than 11 years of experience teaching yoga in India and Dubai, Anand brings both depth and versatility to his work. His background spans Classic Hatha Yoga, Yoga Alignment, Vinyasa Flow, advanced practices, and restorative sessions. He also has strong experience in meditative practices and has served as a lead teacher and educator in International Yoga Alliance Teacher Training Programmes in the UAE and India.
