The Path That Led Me to Arya Yog Peeth
Namaste, dear friends. My journey into yoga began not as a career path, but as a personal quest for healing. At the age of 15, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis—a serious condition that modern healthcare couldn't cure despite visiting numerous doctors. When conventional treatments failed, my father took me to Swami Karamveer Ji, a renowned yoga guru and Ayurvedic master in India.
Living near the ashram, I began daily practice under his guidance, combining yoga with Ayurvedic treatments. Drawn to the profound healing I experienced, I eventually moved to the ashram full-time, immersing myself in practice and serving through gau seva (cow service). After several years, my health was restored—a transformation that would forever change my life's direction.
At my guru's encouragement to formalize my knowledge, I traveled to Rishikesh where I completed a Master's degree in Yogic Science followed by a Post-Graduate Diploma in Ayurveda and Naturopathy. My guru then guided me to share these teachings internationally, leading me to spend many years teaching throughout Asia—China, Japan, Thailand, Macau, Hong Kong, and beyond—where I taught both modern and ancient yogic practices including Vinyasa and Hatha yoga.
Upon returning to India, I deepened my studies in Kriya and Kundalini yoga. This journey revealed my purpose: to share these transformative practices globally, particularly with those suffering from physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges. I chose Rishikesh—the land of rishis (sages) and Mother Ganga—as the perfect place to establish Arya Yog Peeth.
Our school's founding principle is to blend ancient, authentic yogic knowledge with modern medical science, creating a holistic approach to healing and self-discovery. Our mission extends beyond teaching yoga—we aim to help people heal themselves, create beautiful lives, and contribute to a more harmonious society. At Arya Yog Peeth, we are committed to making people's lives happier and healthier, and to making our Earth a better place for all.
The Guiding Principles of My Teaching
These core beliefs shape our approach at Arya Yog Peeth and inform every aspect of our teaching methodology.
Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science
Our approach combines authentic yogic traditions with contemporary medical understanding. Having experienced the healing power of this integration firsthand, I believe that yoga's ancient wisdom becomes even more powerful when complemented by modern scientific knowledge.
Healing Through Practice
My own journey of healing from ulcerative colitis through yoga and Ayurveda taught me that the body has remarkable self-healing capabilities. We guide students to activate these innate healing mechanisms through proper practice, breathing techniques, and lifestyle adjustments.
Creating Harmony
Yoga extends beyond individual wellness to creating harmony in society and our world. By helping people heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we contribute to a more peaceful and compassionate global community. Each transformed individual becomes an agent of positive change.

What I discovered through my healing journey is that our bodies possess remarkable wisdom and capacity for self-healing when given the right guidance and practices. The ancient traditions of yoga, when combined with modern understanding, create a powerful pathway to physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
