“Raj’s classes are medicine. Pure. Healing. Nourishing. Medicine. He has the wisdom and heart of a wise old being inhabiting a young body. His teaching brings awareness. He stands for Yoga with such integrity and honour its impossible not to follow suit. The space he creates is so utterly magical. I can not express my gratitude for Raj more so than this. He breathes life into me.”
Suzie Bowerman – Education & Media – Senior Lecturer in Sound Design and Radio
“I first met Raj back in late Spring 2021 during a yoga class followed by meditation and pranayama. I was left feeling very uplifted from the yoga practice. From that encounter I went on to attend Raj’s Yoga/Yoga Nidra classes together with his yoga/meditation/pranayama classes on a weekly basis. But this was not just about yoga on the mat. Raj has been a guiding light in my spiritual development. On the hardest and most joyful of days, he has been there with his profound wisdom, support, care and compassion. Raj is a true healer, a total inspiration, his wisdom coupled with his love, compassion and care for all is clear for anyone to see and feel. His dedication to his practice and to his students is beyond anything I have ever witnessed.”
Tracey Doherty – Yoga Teacher & Carer
“Raj is a true gift from the universe. He is the door that has truly opened and welcomed me to what was always waiting for me. My yoga journey. Not only is he an amazing teacher but each time you show up he gives you strength, knowledge and it never feels like work. His gentle approach somehow gets the best out of your body and wakes up your dormant mind. If you are reading this it means it’s your time and if you are lucky enough and get the opportunity to work with Raj you will really find out who you are, he will guide you through the stuck moments with clarity and professionalism but with that certain something that makes you feel like you are the only thing that matters, it’s clever because you don’t realise at first that you are doing the work he is just here to guide you but somehow you think he is doing the work. He brings the best to you both physically and mentally and I could not recommend a better guide/coach/teacher than Raj the beautiful.
Samantha Baker - Food Manufacturing – Office Manager
“I came across Raj's yoga class when I was looking for a yoga studio near where I live. It was really a blessing in disguise to come across Raj's Hatha yoga class as I was (and still) on my healing and self discovery journey. Not having much experience in yoga before, Raj was very understanding and accommodating that every yoga posture didn't feel like a strain to the body but more like something to experience and be part of. I also love the pranayama and meditation session with Raj after every yoga session and he has such a soothing voice and special way of doing it that it makes me feel at ease after every class. I'am forever grateful for all the wisdom, compassion, kindness and support he has given me on my yoga journey. If you're even thinking twice about booking a class with Raj, stop and just book it and experience the magic!”
Aizat Nordin - Healthcare - Doctor
“I have had a profoundly positive and supportive experience working so far with Raj. Over the past months we have done several Asana yoga practices, meditation sessions, as well as begun work on breathwork techniques. Raj has been extremely supportive and patient with me, and has answered any and all questions I have had along the way from a place of deep knowledge and respect for these traditions. In the yoga classes, he has inspired me to be more compassionate with myself and my relationship to my body. Over the years of dipping in and out of yoga practice, Raj has been the one teacher I have wanted to return to over and over again as his flow and rhythm give an easy road in to connect. The more personalised meditation and breathwork sessions have provided me with fascinating insights and experiences I take away from every session, as well as extra learning resources for me to explore in my own time. Raj's enthusiasm, knowledge and humility continue to inspire me on this path.”
William Nielsen – Teacher
"I came to Raj’s class after trying numerous other yoga classes that constantly felt unsafe for me as a person of colour. Raj’s practice is so brilliant because it feels so genuinely aligned with the authentic yoga values - there’s no aura of competition to his classes because his intention is purely asking for you to be with self and therefore I am free to experience the true cultural essence of how yoga is intended as a practice which feels so healing to my South Asian heritage and intergenerational trauma. Raj is highly considerate of boundaries and he is genuinely trauma informed. He has an exceptional talent for intuitively attuning to the needs of the class and I always leave feeling that I have received an almost tailor made experience. I honestly find his mantra and breathwork has been life changing for me for supporting my voice and expression as an artist and poet. I highly recommend this not to be missed experience with one of London’s best yoga teachers!"

Namalee Bolle - Transpersonal Transcultural Psychotherapist, Artist and Writer
"Raj is a truly exceptional yoga teacher with profound knowledge of Yoga, human body and mind. After having practiced traditional Hatha Yoga abroad, I really struggled to find an authentic Yoga class when I first moved to London. I am so grateful I finally found Raj’s classes which are unparalleled! Every session is a transformative experience that leaves me mentally and physically rejuvenated. His care for his students shines through in each class as he makes every effort to personalise the practice to each person’s needs and physical abilities (which I really appreciate due to my previous injury). Raj also has a unique ability to create a safe space where you can be yourself and fully immerse into your practice. I always come out of the classes having learnt something new, with a clear mind and feeling great. All in all, Raj puts his soul in creating a positive, rich and grounding practice and I’d highly recommend Raj’s classes to any other busy professionals who are looking for authentic Yoga that will feed their body, mind and soul."
Zemfira Alakbarova – Finance - Solicitor
Raj taught me everything I know about meditation and yoga. His comprehensive knowledge of all yoga's aspects and sacred texts, combined with a genuine passion in helping people, makes Raj's teaching style truly valuable and unique. His sessions are tailored for individual needs, with particular focus on breath work which in itself can be transformative. Raj's yoga classes goes far beyond getting into the right poses and are more about finding balance in inner alignment. During meditation he used different methods to guide me through a state of deep relaxation, providing me with the tools to achieve it again by myself. Raj's teachings have been life-changing and thanks to him I have reconnected with my true self.
A calm, patient, humble, authentic and compassionate person, Raj embodies the yogic philosophy in a way that can rarely be found in the Western world.
I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn how to be present, live happily, reduce stress levels, practise self love or cultivate mind, body, soul balance.
Marta Addari – Facepainter & Artist
“Raj’s classes are a spiritual experience. They offer an inspired balance of asana’s, chanting, pranayama and guided meditation that will leave you feeling more connected, grounded and at peace. Raj speaks with confidence, assuredness and wisdom creating a safe space for processing and healing. I feel very privileged to have found a yoga teacher that offers so much in such a short space of time. I would be lost without him. Thank you Raj.”
Emma Daly - Education-Head of Faculty for Social Sciences
“It’s hard to describe how transformative Raj’s classes feel. I’ve been lucky to have lots of fantastic and thoughtful yoga teachers but I’ve never learnt as much as I have from Raj in terms of the Yoga beyond the poses. He has a special way of grounding the whole room and I always feel so good after his classes that it’s easy to keep up the habit of coming.”

Jennifer Earle - Food Industry - Innovation Consultant & Tour Guide
“Raj is an amazing teacher who weaves in cultural insights and language into his teachings and practice grounding his classes in the true and original formats of how yoga should be presented. In a world where yoga has been over westernised. Raj brings the original back to the future. An absolute must.”
Adam Elven-Boita – Marketing – Chief Marketing Officer
“Raj is one of the best yoga teachers I've ever met, although the word yoga teacher actually doesn't go far enough. He knows how to adapt perfectly to the level of each participant, so that everyone is challenged at their own level and turn parts you don't like into enjoyable moments. Furthermore, it is a real pleasure to talk to him about the philosophical foundations of Yoga and its implementation in everyday life. In addition, I find Raj's guided mediations to be the best I have ever had, as they have for days put me in a state that is hard to describe, but the description "mental tranquillity" is not enough praise.”
Patrick Daus - Yoga Teacher & Deliveries
“I started yoga as a way to reduce my anxiety and recent grief. Through regular practice, my sorrow and stress became less as I focused on letting my negative thoughts go and started to feel better. Raj’s classes are my safe space and have been essential to my recovery. Raj is a very emphatic, generous and knowledgeable teacher. I look forward to each session, I always come out feeling peaceful, hopeful, rested and full of positive energy. I am so grateful to Raj for teaching me how to access my spiritual self, as well as increasing my physical and mental strength.”
Vanessa Levrat - Advertising & Marketing - Digital Project Manager
“I would highly recommend Raj as a yoga teacher. I've been a regular at his classes for the last couple of years, he caters for everyone, no matter what experience they have. His hatha classes are a great balance of challenge and relaxation and I come away feeling calm and positive. As well as the benefits to my wellbeing, I've noticed an improvement in my strength and flexibility during this time. Thank you Raj!”
Ruth Tracey - Finance
“I love Raj's classes - he combines philosophy, spirituality, creative sequencing, thoughtfulness and care to create classes that feed the body and mind. I come away from every class having learned something new. I feel calm and nourished and I really miss it when I can't make class!”
Rebecca Woo – Charity – Campaigns Co-ordinator
“Just wanted to say a really big thank you for Raj's classes I look forward to them so much each week. I always feel so peaceful after and try to remember Raj's mantras and affirmations so I can say them during the week. I’m really grateful for Raj's teachings.”
Dot Hughes – Mother
“Thank you very much for the classes - I got a lot out of it and it really did effect my perception of life and deepen a spiritual connection and a desire to progress further.
I hope to attend Raj's class in future again to gain more spiritual connection.”
