Say Hello to Arvind Singh, Our Founder

Our yoga ashram was created in 2019 by distinguished yogi Arvind Singh with a singular purpose - to spread the true meaning of yoga to the world. Bali was chosen for the ashram as it is such an energy-rich environment with a rich and deep-rooted spirituality. Arvind teaches and mentors students in Hatha and alignment with love and patience.

Mission of Gurukul Yogashala

He strives to live a simple life that embodies the very practice he teaches. To Arvind, yoga is not just about physical exercise; it connects us with our soul, enriches our minds, and helps us achieve our full potential. He speaks frequently about Samatvam Yoga Uchyate (Equalness in Mind is Yoga), which is the backbone of the classes he teaches. Arvind believes that living in accordance with the Yamas and Niyamas is essential for true growth, and he gently guides students down the path of cultivating a healthier, more balanced life.
