Yoga philosophy has taught Vikramjeet Singh to believe in dreaming, trusting, challenging and experimenting. His motto us based on a statement that there are no mistakes: there is only learning. Vikramjeet believes that life fe is not about struggles, disappointments, or circumstances, life is about falling in love with the magic that surrounds us.

Yoga for Vikram is the necessary and important way of a self-reflection and of continuous learning rather then simply a profession. Yoga inspires him to experiment again and again, and leads him as a teacher to employ some permutation and combination into his practice also.

This wonderful young gentleman feels blessed to be born in one of the most spiritually energetic places on our planet Earth that nowadays deservingly bears the name of the Yoga Capital of the World, in Rishikesh, Uttarakand, India. Vikram’s yoga journey first of all started with immersion and under the loving guidance of his beloved parents, Avtar Kaur and Surinder Singh.

Nevertheless,Vikram’s whole life has changed when he went to complete his Post-Graduate diploma course in Yoga Therapy in Kaivalyadhama, Lonavala. That was the irreversible moment of realisation of how excited and blessed he is to be a part of the world of yogis. That was also the moment of wanting to share his love of yoga and its benefits with others.

Vikram’s practices same as his classes are a combination of the traditional Hatha yoga with the principles of Iyengar yoga and Vinyasa. The practice he shares is full of mindfulness that includes both slow vinyasa flow with classical asanas with experimental transitions into more passive postures to find your stillness through your mental and physical awareness, that as a result have holistic effect and show you the way to sink deeper into your practice.
