Born and bred in Calcutta, India, Master Saumik kicked off his interest in Yoga at the age of 5 and have been teaching for over 20 years. He has studied all the aspects of Yoga from the psychological behaviour to the anatomy and physiological functions. “It is very important to understand the human mind and the human body – its limitations and capabilities, only then can we understand our own body movements.” Master Saumik specialises in delivering philosophy in a fun and inspiring way. He has an anatomy background in Functional Anatomy – studies of the human bones and its capabilities, and has completed extensive traditional yoga studies over his course of practice.
Master Saumik’s classes are playful but challenging – ensuring you dig deep into all parts of yourself, inspiring you to be your best. He will take you on a powerful and transformational journey.

When I'm not on the mat
Watching Deepak Chopra’s & Jay Shetti’s videos, reading up motivational quotes, and browsing through Yogis newsfeed on Instagram. It’s always inspiring to read success stories!
When my student leave their class, I hope they feel
Grounded and satisfied.
