Season 1

A certified ERYT500 Yoga Alliance instructor, Priyan brings over a decade of experience in nurturing minds and bodies through the Hatha/Vinyasa yoga tradition. He is the heart and soul behind the renowned Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, a sanctuary committed to delivering a structured, integrated practice for its dedicated students. Priyan is also the acclaimed author of "Joy in the Body," Singapore's first book on Yoga Asanas. Launched through a successful 2021 Kickstarter campaign featuring past and present teachers and students of the yoga community, the book generated over $20,000 in funding and sold more than 400 copies within its early publishing months.

As a yoga teacher, Priyan's teaching style exudes a calm maturity, reflecting his deep experience. His classes are infused with patience and compassion, ensuring every student feels seen and supported. An educator at heart, Priyan integrates a scientific approach with his rich understanding of Samkhya, Yoga, Tantra, and Advaita Vedanta traditions. This fusion delivers a nuanced, evidence-based approach to the lectures, courses and training he conducts. Rooted in the belief that yoga is an invaluable heritage, Priyan sees it as a tool to purify the body, mind, and spirit, guiding practitioners towards deeper self-awareness and a greater life purpose.
