Meet the Faculty

Our Yoga Teachers & Gurus in Rishikesh and Bali

At Vinyasa Yoga Academy, every teacher is a lifelong practitioner before they are an instructor. Our faculty hold Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500, RPYT, and YACEP credentials, with specialisations spanning Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Kundalini, Tantra, Pranayama, Meditation, Prenatal Yoga, Kids Yoga, Anatomy, Ayurveda, and Yoga Philosophy. Collectively, they bring over 150 years of combined teaching experience to the Rishikesh and Bali campuses.

When you join a programme at Vinyasa Yoga Academy, you are not learning from a single teacher — you are learning from a curated team assembled specifically because each member is the best in their domain.
