About Nikhil Soorya — Private Yoga Instructor in Dubai, Rooted in a Kerala Yoga Lineage

Hello, I'm Nikhil Soorya, founder of Yoga Ur Life and a private yoga instructor based in Dubai. I've been teaching since 2009 — over 15 years guiding students through the traditional principles of Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Pranayama, and meditation. My approach is built on one simple belief: a teacher can only guide a student well once they truly understand them. So every session I teach, whether at a client's home in Dubai, in a corporate office, or with a child or senior student, is shaped around the person in front of me — not a one-size-fits-all class plan.

A Yoga Lineage From Kerala, India

Unlike instructors who discover yoga as adults, I was born into it. My father, Yogi Guru Soorya Raviji, founded the Sivasoorya Divine School of Yoga in Pachalloor, near Kovalam beach in Trivandrum, Kerala — a school recognized as one of the most authentic, traditionally-disciplined yoga centres in South India, and a training ground for students from across the world.

Growing up inside that ashram environment meant yoga wasn't a weekend hobby for me — it was a daily, lived tradition, passed down the way it has been taught in India for thousands of years. I trained and later taught at the family school before bringing that same lineage to Dubai. It's a background that's genuinely rare to find in a private yoga instructor here: not just a teaching certificate, but a yogic heritage carried within the family itself.
