My Sadhana: The Journey of a Yogi
A look at the path behind HITYOGA—from early practice in 2010 to our mission today. Real transformation comes from consistent, daily action.
My own transformation from 2010 to 2022. This journey from a young enthusiast to a dedicated yogi is built on consistent practice and the blessings of my gurus. It is proof that yoga is a path of profound change.
Finding stillness amidst the flow. Meditating on a rock in the middle of a rushing river in the Himalayas, I connect with the constant, powerful energy of nature.
A closer look at meditation by the river. The sound of the water, the crisp mountain air, and a stable seat create the perfect conditions for Dhyana (meditation).

Practicing meditation in a natural cave. Such spaces have been used by yogis for centuries to deepen their practice, shielded from the outside world to better turn the focus inward.
Different phases of my journey. Each step, from traditional attire to practicing by the ocean, has been a part of my evolution as a yogi and a teacher.

About this collection
In 2010, I was an enthusiast; by 2025, that dedication evolved into the HITYOGA community. My training approach in Basaveshwar Nagar isn't about repeating theory from a book. It is built on what I have lived, practiced, and learned under the guidance of Dr. H R Nagendra Ji. If you are looking for a shortcut, this is not it. If you are looking for a genuine path, we can talk.
My journey is the foundation of every course I offer. When you join the Yoga Instructor Course (Y.I.C) or our Aerial Yoga Teacher Training, you are not just signing up for a class. You are inheriting a lineage.
The S-VYASA Connection
My collaboration with S-VYASA University is central to my work. This provides a rigorous academic structure—studying anatomy, yoga sutras, and cyclic meditation—ensuring that when you graduate, your certification is internationally recognized and academically sound.
More Than A Certificate
I believe in the 'Right to Yoga'—that practice belongs to everyone, regardless of background. Whether you are training at our Basaveshwar Nagar studio or through our hybrid online models, the goal is to shift from 'knowing' to 'living' yoga. We cover the technical aspects—rigging safety for aerial yoga, facial anatomy for our beauty coaching, and sequencing for Hatha flows—but the true outcome is the discipline you build.
My Commitment
I am here to guide, spot, and challenge you. But I cannot do the work for you. My students range from police officers to doctors, and every single one of them shares one trait: they showed up consistently. If you are ready to put in the work, I am ready to guide you.

I teach what I live. My path from a student to a trainer at S-VYASA has been one of deep discipline, not magic. If you are ready for a real transformation and not just a certificate, I have a mat ready for you.
