Meet our team
PRASHANT TOMAR - Founder & Lead teacher
I belong from the yoga capital of the world Rishikesh, India. My yoga journey has started in 2015 and I have been practicing yoga for the last 10 years and have teaching experience of 6+ years. I have done my master degree in yoga science and I also hold numerous yoga certificates.
I have taught in various yoga schools and I have conducted Ashtanga Yoga workshops in universities. I have travelled around India to deepen my knowledge about yoga and studied with some of the India’s most prominent Yoga teachers. I am teaching both ashtanga and hatha yoga in different parts of India & Asia, in our 200h Teacher Training Course, with emphasis on posture alignment, philosophy background of yoga & mantra chanting.
“ I believe that yoga is a lifelong journey which brings you on the path of slowly understanding what you want in your life, it helps you to eliminate the ego and makes you a more patient human being. Yoga is a path of self-discovery and an inner transformation and I believe that if the intention is real and pure the change will come to you ”. Hari OM
Estella - CoFounder & Lead teacher
I am a RYT 800hr certified yoga teacher and an ashtanga practitioner. My personal practice is based on the Ashtanga Yoga method. I have been dedicated to a daily, six-day-a-week practice for the last 5 years.
Over the last 8 years, I have made a choice to practise and learn yoga from the source, in India. My indian teacher has taught me traditional ashtanga method as he has learnt directly under Sharath Jois Ji in Mysore, India.
I teach mainly ashtanga & hatha yoga (online & offline), I give ashtanga workshops and I conduct my own 200h TTC in duo with Prashant, in various retreat/wellness centres worldwide.
I believe yoga is neither a sport nor a hobby, it is a deep, nourishing & sacred lifestyle.
Yoga happens on & off the mat, throughout the whole day.

My partner and I were most fortunate and privileged to have Prashant and Estella as our yoga teachers on a yoga retreat at Welikande Estate in Sri Lanka. We really enjoyed every class they taught, they were both highly experienced and knowledgeable as well as helpful in assisting us with our practice and postures. We particularly enjoyed a yoga immersion day where we learnt yoga philosophy and how to correctly practice Asanas. I highly recommend both Prashant and Estella as Yoga teachers, their classes were an absolute highlight of our Yoga retreat and trip to Sri Lanka.Posted on Google Christian KägiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sie waren die Yogalehrer im Welikande-Yogacenter in Sri Lanka, wo wir eine wunderschöne Woche verbrachten. Beide sind sehr professionelle und versierte Yogalehrer, die auch die Astangha-Philosophie leben. Es war sehr spannend und ich konnte einiges profitieren und lernte viel über Astangha-Yoga. Danke Euch beiden für die schöne Woche, wir haben die Zeit mit Euch sehr genossen.Posted on Google Ellis BijlTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I was incredibly fortunate to practice with both Prashant and Estella who were the resident yoga instructors whilst I was staying at Welikande Yoga Retreats near Kandy in Sri Lanka. Both Prashant & Estella have a nurturing, encouraging and instinctive teaching style. Their calm voices and clear direction meant you were never unsure of the journey they take you on in either the more dynamic morning practice or the restorative yin evening practice. I always felt very well looked after in each practice and this was enhanced by hands on adjustments and checking in with me when adjustments weee being offered. A true delight to be guided by them!Posted on Google kelvinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of joining yoga classes with Prashant & Estella for two weeks during a homestay in Vietnam, sometimes even twice a day! After just a few sessions, I noticed a big difference in my stiff knee and hip, and now I’ve actually made yoga a daily habit. They’re such a great duo with there knowledgeable and patient! A huge thanks to both of you for your guidance and inspiration✨Posted on Google Emelie LundhTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did my 200 hours yoga teacher training with Estelle and Prashant in Cambodia. They are great teachers, very knowledgable yet humble and very encouraging and understanding. They see your potential and push you to go one step further without overstepping your limits. Whether you are getting certified through them or doing your daily practice you are in good hands 🙏🏼Posted on Google Marco BroekmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We verbleven van 31 juli t/m 4 augustus in Phong Nha bij het fantastische Nguyen Shack Retreat en konden elke dag de yoga lessen van Prashant en Estella volgen. De lessen waren heel persoonlijk, professioneel en afwisselend. Prashant en Estella waren daarnaast oprecht geïnteresseerd in onze eigen ervaringen en belevenissen….En het uitzicht natuurlijk geweldig! Een ervaring om nooit meer te vergeten! X Marco, Alexandra en MiesPosted on Google HannmadeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When i was staying at Nguyen Shack in Vietnam 🇻🇳, i enjoyed 3 classes with Prashant! In the beautiful scenery of the lake and the Mountains we practiced breathwork and asanas. I was amazed that I could do wheelpose with his assistance in the first class as i had never done it before. Prashant’s teaching made me push my physical boundaries in a really safe and gentle way. I hope i get to practice with you again in the future. You are a great teacher!Posted on Google Neil MistlandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I participated in several yoga classes with both Estella and Prashant during my time in Phong Nha, Vietnam. They were both professional and intimate teaches who provided dynamic and enjoyable sessions. I would recommend them whole heartedly.
