Akshya Kant Bhatt — Akshay Ji to his students — was born and brought up in Rishikesh, the world-renowned yoga capital. Coming from a spiritual family, he was introduced to yogic traditions and values from an early age, long before any of it became a career. What most teachers travel to Rishikesh to study for a few months was simply the environment he grew up in.
He went on to build a formal academic foundation on top of that upbringing, holding a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. in Yogic Science along with a Diploma in Yogic Science, and he is a Yoga Alliance USA certified 500-Hour RYT. That combination matters in his classes: he can explain why a posture is taught a particular way in the tradition and what is actually happening in the body while you hold it, rather than asking students to take either side on faith.
With over five years of teaching experience, he specialises in Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Pranayama and alignment-based practice. His sessions stay close to authentic yoga practice and keep returning to the same aim — better health, better balance, and a steadier inner awareness — with alignment treated as the thing that lets a student keep practising safely for years, not as a detail to correct in passing.
He leads: Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Pranayama and alignment sessions on the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Thailand.
