Ajay started practicing yoga at ten
years old with BNS Iyengar at the Shri
Pathanjala Yoga Shala at Parkala
Mutt in Mysore; he soon discovered he
had a passion for yoga. Practicing at
the ParkalaMutt, Ajay developed a
commitment and understanding for
both the physical and spiritual
dimensions of yoga, which have now
become an integral part of his life.
Today, Ajay maintains an individual
practice, drawing from his personal
experience in practicing asana he
applies the lessons that he has leant
to his teachings, offering a uniquein
sight to Ashtanga. Alongside this Ajay is currently studying a PHD in Sanskrit
at the University of Mysore. Ajay, has
been teaching Ashtanga Vinyasa
Yoga for the passed six years. Under
his supervision, students gain the
strength, stamina and flexibility to
move through the asanas. He has the
ability to work with a wide range of
individuals, from complete beginners
to the advanced practitioners. Ajay’s
first priority is to guide the student
through the physical aspects of yoga
asana. From there the foundation is
set for the other limbs of Ashtanga
Yoga to build. Ajay teaches his
students with sensitivity to their body
and his adjustments are gentle and
precise. Ajay is particularly concerned
with alignment and correct posture
and guides his student to this end. His
aim is that his students reach there full
potential. Ajay firmly believes that with
a daily Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga
practice both the physical and
spiritual beliefs will be attained.
Through his style of teaching Ajay built
up a regular number of international
students who return to Mysore every
year to study and deepen their
practiceunder his guidance.
