Aakash (Sky) Arya

Founding Teacher

Sky Arya’s formative years were shaped by rigorous training at Arya Samaj, where he practiced yoga, karate, Vedic study, Sandhya meditation, and daily mantra chanting. This disciplined upbringing instilled traditional values of respect, mental clarity, humility, and consistency, which continue to guide his approach as the founding teacher at Yoga Trends Studio.

By age 20, Sky had earned a black belt in karate and won a gold medal in a karate Shiai (試合), followed by a gold medal in a yoga competition at 21. Selected by his mentor, Ketan Arya, he was intensively trained as a protégé and worked alongside him to help make Yoga and Karate accessible to all - an opportunity that launched Sky’s teaching career at the age of 15 in local schools in Porbandar, Gujarat.

Sky’s professional journey expanded to working with renowned figures such as Swami Ramdev in Haridwar and Bharat Thakur across India. In Mumbai, Sky refined his skills further, opening his first yoga studio and teaching Bollywood celebrities and business leaders. His international experience began with a role at Planet Yoga Hong Kong in 2009, continuing to nearly a decade as Head Yoga Instructor at Fitness First Hong Kong, specialising in Flow Yoga and Aerial Yoga. He became known for working with a broad range of clients, particularly those facing stiffness, joint issues, and sports injuries.

In 2019, Sky founded the Yoga Trends Training Academy (YTTA), a Yoga Alliance-certified school offering a range of teacher training programs that blend traditional yoga with modern understanding, empowering students to grow as practitioners and teachers. In 2021, he opened Yoga Trends Studio, providing small group and one-on-one sessions for students of all backgrounds, including collaborations with brands like adidas and Lululemon. His teaching integrates yoga, martial arts, and therapeutic movement to foster both physical alignment and mental clarity.

He believes yoga is transformative, helping individuals connect with their true selves, build self-awareness, and find inner peace. This philosophy is woven into every class he leads, with a commitment to helping students meet their goals - whether mastering advanced poses or finding a moment of stillness in a busy world.
