GoogleWhen I decided to travel to India to learn yoga I was a bit apprehensive. I knew very little about yoga and I was not very fit to be honest. Fortunately someone recommended Amit to me and I realise now how lucky I was to find such a grounded, compassionate and inspiring yoga teacher. From the first day I met Amit I knew straight away that I was going to learn a lot and also enjoy my time in India. His classes are very relaxed but also very clear and precise. I found the classes challenging at times as I was a complete beginner but Amit always found different options to suit my level while also pushing me to do my very best, he really showed me how capable I was and always encouraged me with positive feedback. I especially enjoyed the meditation and pranayama aspect of our sessions and although I worked hard I always felt chilled out and calm after our classes. I would 100% recommend Amit to anyone that is interested in learning more about yoga or anyone that wants to improve their yoga practice. Amit is an amazing professional teacher and also a truly kind person who I am now lucky to also call a friend. I can safely say that my time in India was life changing because of his classes and I’m now a much more happy, calm and focused person and also a lot fitter !!
Practicing with Amit was one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had as a yoga student. From the very first class, it was clear how deeply professional and knowledgeable he is. Amit has this rare ability to look at your body once – and already know what it needs. He noticed my hypermobility in the knees after just one practice. That kind of anatomical precision is rare. But what truly makes him stand out is not just his skill – it’s his presence. I felt seen, supported, and safe. Amit sees the smallest nuances in each student, and offers personal, attentive guidance that actually fits who you are – not a one-size-fits-all instruction. His Hatha classes are layered with deep yogic philosophy and his meditations feel like they reach into your soul. He teaches with heart, with depth, with subtle power – and also with a great sense of humor. Professional. Sharp. Gentle. Quietly powerful. And truly a good friend. Thank you, Amit, for being the kind of teacher that makes yoga feel real. With gratitude, Natali Bar-On Israel 🙏🏼 @Natali.bar
Amit sir's Teaching style is very unique.His clear instructions, gentle adjustments and emphasis on breathwork makes complex poses feel accessible and empowering.He is very calm,kind, caring, humble,i always leave feeling more centered and relaxed.His gentle guidance helped me to connected with my practice in a deeper way. He is a true gem of a teacher.I met him during my 200 hours yoga training.I deeply appreciate his patience and genuine kindness. Highly recommended for any one who looking to deepen their practice.
I cannot recommend practicing, learning and enjoying yoga under the guidance of Amit highly enough. He is extremely knowledgeable, clear, straightforward and kind. He clearly practices what he preaches and enjoys sharing his in-depth knowledge of all aspects of yoga with you. I met him during my 100 hour Teacher Training and I could not have asked for a more inspiring teacher. I learned a lot from him - especially in art of teaching, the complete effect of yoga practice on all aspects of the body as well as how to modify/progress or regress your asana practice. If you're looking to deepen your knowledge of yoga as a teacher, deepen your practice of yoga or if you're looking for a reason to get into yoga - look no further. Many thanks Amit 🙏🏼
Amit sir is one of the finest Yoga Guru I have ever met and I feel blessed to learn under his guidance. His sessions were filled with energy, fun, easy to grasp and I really love the way he explains in a simplest way. 🙏✨
