Ajay has been practicing Yoga and learning from qualified senior Iyengar and Hatha Yoga Certified Teachers and Yoga schools in Rishikesh. With his deep knowledge, Ajay has been teaching his unique and energetic Yoga classes since 2013. The classes of Ajay are educative in terms of understanding interconnections in the body and teaching correct body alignment. The technique can be physically challenging but conducted in an atmosphere of good humour and inquiry, one can learn many techniques of Yoga that are helpful to deal with injuries and skeletal issues. The mind is trained to focus attention within the body and control the subtleness aspects of our movement and perception.

Ajay’s classes are good for perfecting the practice of Asana, starting from the basics, and involving more challenging poses, often using props such as belts, bricks, chairs, and walls to allow the practitioner to feel specific aspects of body alignment and compare the engagement of their body with and without props. Often Ajay will conduct illustrations on techniques to perform Asana and explain in detail how such techniques affect our bodies and health.
