Amit G

Lead Teacher, Kuti Yoga

Namaste, I’m honored to share a little of my journey with you.

I was first introduced to yoga in early childhood through my family—especially by an uncle and my grandfather, who lived and breathed the yogic path. Summers often meant yoga and philosophy camps, where even with stage fright, I found myself stepping onto platforms to perform simple sequences. Without realizing it, yoga had already begun shaping me from the inside.

At 19, I consciously stepped fully onto the path of yoga, and it has been quietly guiding my life ever since. I’ve been teaching full-time since 2016, drawing from traditional lineages such as Ashtanga Vinyasa, Hatha, Sivananda, and Iyengar.

Over the years, I’ve completed thousands of hours of yoga training, including an advanced multi-style course in Rishikesh, India. I also hold a Master’s degree in Yoga Therapy and a degree in Kinesiology with a focus on anatomy and movement, which allows me to support each student in a way that feels both safe and deeply attuned to their body.

For me, teaching yoga isn’t about leading from the front—it’s about walking alongside others, listening, adapting, and offering tools that help people reconnect with their body, breath, and sense of inner ease. Yoga has given me so much, and I feel grateful every time I get to share it and witness the quiet shifts that bring people closer to themselves.

With gratitude and grace,
Amit G
