About this Retreat
Rohit Kumar, originally from Bihar, India, holds an M.A. and an LL.B. His fascination with Literature, Metaphysics, Tantra, and Yoga began at a young age. As an ERYT 500 Hours certified yogi, Rohit embarked on a quest for balance and life's answers, finding his path in yoga. Combining continuous yoga practice with academic studies, he started sharing the principles and practices of yoga in his hometown of Begusarai. From there, he expanded his teachings to southern India and various parts of Asia.
Rohit's classes primarily focus on Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, Kriya Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga. In 2016, he traveled to Europe, where he practiced yoga therapy in Sweden and experienced the broad benefits of yoga. His journeys through European countries further enriched his understanding of yoga's applications at all stages of life, from childhood onward.
Rohit humbly considers himself a Yogabhyasi (Yoga practitioner) rather than a teacher, sharing his experiences and knowledge as he continues to learn and grow in his practice.
