Brief details on how the school is equipped to teach the selected specialised courses (Facilities, specific props, experienced faculty):
I have 16 years of teaching experience in yoga, pranayama, and meditation, during which I have developed a deep understanding of the practices and their benefits. I work alongside highly experienced co-teachers who bring their own unique expertise to the sessions, enriching the learning environment for our students. We utilize a dedicated hall specifically designed for yoga practice, equipped with all the necessary props and resources to enhance each session, including yoga mats, wheels, belts, and yoga chairs, among others. This comprehensive setup allows us to cater to a wide range of abilities and ensure that everyone receives personalized guidance in their practice.
The History of the Yoga School:
I have been passionately teaching Yog Pranayama and meditation since 2009, dedicating myself to spreading the benefits of these practices. However, I officially launched my Yoga classes in October 2020, during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recognizing the need for mental and physical well-being during such a tumultuous period, I aimed to create a safe and supportive environment for my students to explore and deepen their yoga practice. Through personalized instruction and guidance, I strive to help individuals cultivate mindfulness, resilience, and overall health.
The Details of Yoga School Owner:
My name is Dheeraj Sharma, and I am the proud owner of a school dedicated to holistic education and wellness. In 2009, I completed my First Teacher Training Program at the Art of Living International Ashram in Bangalore, which marked the beginning of my journey in yoga and meditation. Over the past 16 years, I have had the privilege of teaching yoga and meditation to thousands of individuals across various settings, including urban areas, rural villages, prisons, and organizations like the Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), schools, and colleges.
During the challenging period of the COVID-19 pandemic, I took the initiative to start my own yoga classes in Balod, reaching out to those in need of mental and physical well-being. My commitment to continuous learning led me to complete my Yoga Level 3 Certification in 2021, where I deepened my knowledge and practice.
In 2023, I furthered my expertise by completing a 200-hour Teacher Training Program at Vyas Yoga School in Rishikesh, a renowned hub for yoga education. I also attended an Advanced Yoga Teacher Training Program at Bilva Yoga Shala in Sangamner, Maharashtra, in 2025, refining my skills and understanding of advanced yogic techniques.
Throughout my journey, I have achieved two World Records in yoga, a testament to my dedication and passion for the discipline. I was honored to receive the Adiyogi Yog Bhushan Samman in 2025, recognizing my contributions to the field, and I was also named one of the Top 21 Inspiring Yogis of 2025. My mission remains to inspire and empower individuals through the transformative power of yoga and meditation.
