Rishi Yoga Sunshine Coast

Rishi has been practicing yoga ever since he can remember, leaning from his father as a small boy. At the age of twenty he was drawn to India, where he worked and practiced alongside many accomplished Indian Yogis. This has made him a competent teacher of several different styles of yoga; Hatha, Iyengar, Astanga and Sivananda to name a few. After teaching yoga to Western tourist for 14 years in India’s most popular holiday destinations, Rishi fulfilled his dream and opened his own yoga centre in Pokhara, Nepal, in 2009. Rishi closed his centre in 2012 to move to Australia and is now on the central Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Rishi’s yoga classes include breathing exercises (pranayama), yoga postures (asanas) and final relaxation (yoga nidra). All classes are suitable for all ages and all levels, from beginners to advance. Rishi approaches his yoga classes in a light hearted but focused manner. So while he is quite strict and puts a lot of emphasis on correct alignment of the postures, he also likes to have a good chat and a laugh. Rishi is a fully qualified yoga teacher with 16+ years of yoga teaching experience and is a senior member (level 3) of Yoga Australia. But most importantly, he has a genuine passion for teaching yoga and hopes to be able to share his knowledge of traditional yoga with enthusiastic locals and visitors to the Sunshine Coast.
