    THE LIFESTYLE YOGA APPROACH

    Learn the practice. Understand the person.

    Classical yoga invites us to pay attention. To the breath. To our habits. To the person in front of us. Introductory Ayurveda adds another traditional lens for exploring routine, self-awareness and individual needs.

    Our aim is to help you bring that attention into the way you practise and teach—while understanding the boundaries of a yoga teacher's role.
    Traditional understanding. Thoughtful adaptation. Responsible teaching

    FROM LEARNING TO TEACHING

    Build skills you can bring into the room.

    The proposed assessments focus on understanding and practical ability, with feedback to support your development.

    Plan a balanced class

    Connect preparation, asana, breathing and relaxation in a sequence with a clear purpose.

    Guide with clarity

    Practise useful demonstrations, clear verbal cues and appropriate modifications.

    Teach & receive feedback

    Bring your learning together in supervised teaching, theory assessments and reflection.

    The proposed course requires completion of the full 200 hours, assignments and practical and theory assessments. The final course guide will specify attendance and assessment requirements.

    RYT 200 is a separate Yoga Alliance registration. Eligibility depends on successful completion of an applicable registered school programme and Yoga Alliance's registration requirements. Ask the studio for the current school registration and the pathway that applies to this intake.

    Teaching philosophy

    Why classical. Why Ayurveda Why now.

    Modern yoga has separated two things that were never meant to be separated: the practice and the practitioner. Walk into most studios and you will find a timetable of styles — Vinyasa, Yin, HIIT Yoga, Hot Yoga — offered to everyone equally. The person is not considered. Only the class.

    This is precisely what the classical tradition was designed to prevent. Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras do not describe a fitness programme. The Charaka Samhita does not recommend the same treatment for every patient. Ayurveda and yoga were always understood as a pair — one describes the constitution, the other prescribes the practice.

    Sumit’s conviction, formed across 25 years of teaching and rooted in his Himalayan training, is simple: yoga should begin with Prakriti. Before a class, before a sequence, before any instruction — understand the person. Then prescribe.
    01
    Prakriti before practice
    Every student’s constitutional nature — Vata, Pitta or Kapha — determines what practice will genuinely transform them.
    02
    Lineage over trend
    Classical yoga has been refined over thousands of years. The Iyengar method, Himalayan tradition and Patanjali framework are proven.
    03
    Science and spirit as one
    The physiology explains the mechanism. The philosophy explains the meaning. Both are required for transformation.
    04
    Depth over duration
    One correct practice, genuinely understood and applied, does more than years of random attendance.
    05
    Adding more to people's lives
    Every class, private session and teacher trained is an expression of the purpose to add more to people’s lives.

    Sumit Manav

    “Yoga is not something you learn. It is something you remember — about yourself.”
    Sumit’s journey began at 14 in a small town in Uttar Pradesh, India. Drawn by something he couldn’t yet name, he left for the Himalayas — immersing himself in the ancient traditions that most people only read about in books. What emerged, after years of study and practice at the source, was not just a teacher, but a guide.

    Today, Sumit is recognized as one of India’s top 10 yoga personalities — a distinction earned not through celebrity, but through the quiet transformation of thousands of students across the globe. His gift lies in making the profound feel personal. In his classes, ancient philosophy does not feel distant or academic; it lands in the body, in the breath, in the moment.

    In the 200-Hour Teacher Training, Sumit does not simply transfer knowledge — he creates an environment where you discover your own teaching voice. Students regularly describe his training as the moment their relationship with yoga fundamentally changed. Many arrive as practitioners. All leave as teachers — of others, and of themselves.

    Sujay

    “Yoga is not something you learn. It is something you remember — about yourself.”
    Sujay S is a certified yoga teacher and senior faculty member of the Lifestyle Yoga Teacher Training programme, bringing over 10 years of professional teaching experience across Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Pranayama, Meditation, Yoga Therapy, Yoga Anatomy and Yoga Philosophy.
    His teaching spans regular group classes, 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training programmes (RYS® 200), corporate wellness sessions, private practice, therapeutic workshops and international retreats across India and abroad — a breadth of experience that shapes how he teaches: with structure, precision and genuine care for where each student is starting from.
    Sujay's teaching philosophy combines traditional yogic wisdom with a modern, scientific understanding of the body — a natural extension of his own path from mechanical engineering into the deeper mechanics of breath, anatomy and mind. His classes are built to be safe, structured and genuinely transformative, for complete beginners and advanced practitioners alike.
