🧘♂️ About Amit Sharma
Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher | 20+ Years of Experience | Global Retreats | Lifelong Student of Yoga
Amit Sharma, born into a respected Hindu Brahmin family in Jaipur, Rajasthan, began his yogic journey in early childhood. What started as a personal practice of yoga and meditation has grown into a lifelong mission—to learn, teach, and share the transformative power of yoga with the world.
Rooted deeply in Indian tradition, Amit travelled extensively across the country in pursuit of authentic yogic knowledge. He has studied at India’s most revered yoga institutions, including SVYASA University in Bangalore, the Ashtanga Vinyasa Centre in Mysore, and the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) in Pune. In Rishikesh, he continued his studies at Dayanand Ashram and Omkarananda Ashram—soaking in the spiritual energy of the Himalayas.
Amit is a Certified Level 2 Iyengar Yoga Teacher and a direct disciple of Shri Nand Kumar ji, a senior Iyengar Yoga teacher. He has also trained in the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition under the guidance of Sharath Jois and Saraswati Amma, the torchbearers of the legendary Pattabhi Jois lineage. He considers himself blessed to have met both Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar and Shri K. Pattabhi Jois—an experience that continues to inspire his teaching and practice.
With over two decades of teaching experience, Amit has worked with:
-
Pure Yoga (Singapore)
-
Planet Yoga (Hong Kong)
-
Government wellness initiatives in Gujarat (India)
-
International yoga communities in China, Thailand, Malaysia, and beyond
Amit ji has spent more than 10 years abroad, teaching and learning yoga across cultures. He holds an MSc in Yoga, a Post Graduate Diploma in Yoga Therapy, and certifications in Sujok Acupressure, Naturopathy, Hypnotherapy, and Reiki. He has also led yoga sessions at 17,500 ft in Leh, and has been featured on Discovery Channel.
Despite his accolades, Amit ji remains humble.
“I still consider myself a student. The more I learn, the more I realize there is to explore.”
