Meet the Faculty
Our teachers are experienced Yoga Alliance certified instructors with Masters in Yogic Science, dedicated to guiding you on your yoga journey with authenticity and compassion.
When you join a programme at Rudra Yogpeeth, you are not learning from a single teacher — you are learning from a team, each member selected for the subject they teach.
