Aarya is a PhD research scholar and experienced yoga teacher with almost 10 years of teaching abroad experience. Aarya began practising yoga at the age of three. After working in the animation industry for a few years in his early career, he felt an inner calling and believed there is a greater purpose in life, to help others through the education of yoga. He then returned to school and received his master’s degree in Yogic Science and Human Consciousness from Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya in Haridwar, India, and won several medals in state, national, and international yoga competitions. He has since been sharing his passion and knowledge in yoga in different parts of the world, including India, Vietnam, and now Hong Kong.
Aarya takes a holistic approach in his teaching with a focus on fundamentals. He aims to help students find balance in life to achieve overall physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, both on and off the mat.
He emphasises the importance of yoga traditions and integrates yoga philosophies and modern science into his classes to cultivate and strengthen his students’ awareness. He also incorporates pranayama and meditation in his teaching to promote the importance of having a comprehensive practice. With constant practice, he trusts that everyone will be able to focus inward and enhance self-awareness, which will lead us to become a better version of ourselves.
Aarya feels very grateful to have studied under revered philosopher, seer, and sage Pt. Sriram Sharma Acharya. The most valuable life lessons that he learned are the importance of observation, dedication, passion, consistency, authenticity and always keeping an open mind – in both his self-practice and teaching.
Aarya’s classes are known to be traditional based but with a modern touch. He adopts a fundamental-first and alignment-focused approach in his asana teaching. Together with his ability to quickly identify his students’ strengths and body structures, he provides precise pose breakdowns and variations to suit all levels of practitioners. He hopes his teachings and sharing can empower each and every one of his students to reach their full potential. He sees his students’ growth, both on and off the mat, as his biggest driving force.
