ravi yoga
Ravi Dixit knows the benefits of yoga like no other, growing up in India where
yoga is a part of daily life and considered essential for maintaining health and
happiness. Ravi’s Passion “Yoga is not about the perfect pose, it’s about
reconnecting with yourself and finding harmony between you and you. This will
bring peace and health to your body and mind.” Since yoga has become mainstream
in the West, more and more people are experiencing the benefits of this powerful
practice. However, some of the principles of the original teachings have gotten
lost in modern yoga. In his work as a teacher, Ravi is passionate to bring back
the essence of yoga, making the principles and values of traditional Indian yoga
approachable for everyone. As a modern yogi living in London, he understands the
challenges of daily western life and can guide you to feel balanced in a busy
world. Ravi ‘the smiling Yogi’ was born in India into a family of spiritual
teachers and from a young age he grew up with a yoga practice as part of his
daily life. In his early twenties he lived at several Ashrams in Rishikesh,
where he studied Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga. The years following, Ravi worked as
the resident teacher at one of the top retreats in Goa, where he led classes for
thousands of students from all over the world. In 2017 he moved to London and
quickly became one of the city’s most sought after traditional yoga teachers.
During his time in London, he teaches for studios and brands such as Wanderlust,
Bamford, bhuti and the OM Yoga Show, as well as staying committed to his
community classes. He also does private tuition for a range of clients in
business, wellness, the entertainment and fashion industry. In 2019 he created
‘Ravi Yoga Goa’ a boutique Yoga retreat on a quiet beach in South Goa. One
evening in November 2020, his life was turned upside down when he was critically
injured in a road accident and spent over a month in Intensive Care on a
ventilator. By God’s grace and miracles he survived and Ravi is extremely
grateful he was given a second life. He feels that the power of yoga played an
essential part in his survival and recovery. Yoga with Ravi Ravi is an
