Ajay grew up in a traditional Hindu family in Delhi where from a young age he was exposed to the yoga scriptures as well as visiting Sadhus. Intrigued by yoga as well as having developed a breathing difficulty. from his late-teens he sought out and practiced with many hatha yoga teachers. It was only 10 years later, around 2010 he finally found himself in Mysore, knowing nothing about Ashtanga yoga. But knowing he wanted a more methodical style of guidance in his practice. Since then he has progressed quickly through the Ashtanga series which he learnt with Sharathji Jois from the very beginning. And including a good part of advanced B series in his practice. He received level 2 authorisation from Sharathji. Ajay ran a regular Mysore program in Delhi until recently. He is currently residing in Siberia with his wife Olga and their young son. He now (when he can) teaches workshops internationally.
