Hatha Yoga Teaching Methodology
Born in the serene lap of the Himalayas, at the sacred banks of Mother Ganga and the ancient Bhootnath Shiva Temple, Dhirendra Ji’s life has been intertwined with spirituality from the very beginning. As a child studying at Parmarth Niketan Ashram, he spent his early years surrounded by chanting, meditation, and the pure rhythm of ashram life.
What began as simple school-day asana practice soon transformed into a lifelong calling. Guided by the blessings of his Gurus, he embraced the yogic path with unwavering discipline. From practising until his body was sore to renouncing old habits, his dedication shaped him into a seeker committed to aligning body, mind, and soul.
Today, after years of training, self-study, and inner transformation, he shares this wisdom with students across the world, helping them explore their highest potential through traditional Yoga.

Yin Yoga Meditation
Ella’s journey is a powerful testament to how Yoga can transform a life from darkness to purpose. Formerly a marketing manager, she was always deeply curious about the human mind and holistic healing. This curiosity led her to explore NLP and Aromatherapy, but during a period of severe depression, she found herself searching for something deeper—something that could bring meaning and light back into her life.
Guided by an inner calling, she travelled to India and enrolled in a Yoga course. What she found there became a turning point: through practice, breath, and meditation, she healed completely from her depression. Inspired by this profound transformation, she dedicated herself full-time to learning, exploring, and sharing Yoga in its many healing dimensions.
Today, Ella specialises in Yin Yoga, meditation,prenatal yoga, energy healing, and mind–body practices. Her classes focus on releasing emotional and physical blockages, awakening inner awareness, and nurturing deep rest. Blending anatomy, psychology, philosophy, mantra, and sound, she creates spaces where students feel safe, supported, and deeply connected.
Her favourite motto beautifully captures her spirit:
“Change is hardest at the beginning, messiest in the middle, and best at the end.”
