YOGA
Abhay started yoga practice from childhood. His mother taught him Bhakti Yoga’s tradition of spiritual practice, and he learnt Asana practice from his grandfather. Later during his school days, he stuck with practice even as he excelled in a variety of sports and won many sports awards. After finishing school, Abhay continued to be inspired by yoga and in his quest for greater knowledge, he chose to deepen his yoga studies. In 2009 he attended SVYASA Yoga University in Bangalore, India, where he graduated with a master’s degree in 2012 and taught part-time thereafter. During his years of study, Abhal participated in yoga events and won the All India Yoga Championship in 2013. In 2015, he started teaching yoga in Shanghai and met and practiced with yoga masters David Kyle, Andrey Lappa, Dylan Werner and Will Lau. Abhay is passionate and humorous. His positive aura inspires practitioners, and his classes hold challenges for all levels of students. He believes we are all part of nature and that yoga is not just a physical practice but rather a connection between the individual self and the universal being.
