A devoted yoga practitioner and widely regarded Ashtanga Yoga teacher, Ajay Tokas have received the formal blessings of his guru, Shri R. Sharath Jois to teach this yogic art.

Ajay has been a dedicated student of yoga for over two decades, continually expanding his knowledge and sharing his wisdom with others, with this journey deeply influenced by his mother’s unwavering support and inspiration, which guided him towards a yogic lifestyle. He is currently practicing the fourth series of Ashtanga Yoga under the tutelage of his guru.

Ajay started his yoga journey in 2004 and has been devoted to the Ashtanga Yoga since 2010. Ajay started his teaching career in his hometown of Delhi in 2010, was the first teacher to establish and teach traditional Ashtanga Yoga Program in Delhi and Siberia, and has since travelled extensively to teach in India, China, Indonesia, Turkey, Philippines, Russia, Kazakhstan, Hongkong, Italy, Germany, Romania, Netherlands, France and Usa.

Ajay’s teaching is inspired by the integration of strength with the inner experience of spiritual discipline. Ajay believes that with disciplined yoga practice one can open doors to self-realization. 

Ajay was born and raised in a traditional Hindu family. Since childhood, he had a deep impression of his mother practicing Bhakti Yoga. He used to visit Himalayan pilgrimages with his family and these spiritual journeys, seeing sages standing in yogic postures on scared riverbanks, inspired him from an early age and sow a seed to pursue a  yogic life.

As he grew older, he started practicing yoga to lead a healthy and balanced life. He had an unquenchable thirst to learn more and travelled on his own to ashrams in the North and South of India. He spent a lot of time there; leading a simple life and got enriched in Bhakti and Karma yoga. During his travels he also come across different teachers from whom he learnt asanas for physical and spiritual well being.  On his return he engaged in Svadhaya and moved deeper into yoga practice. Ajay found his Guru in Shri R. Sharath Jois and since 2010 has been visiting Mysore annually to study Ashtanga Yoga with his Guru.
